Read and write with Zebra
Are you looking for a fun and engaging way for your child to start learning German? Look no further than the ZEBRA WRITING TABLE app, a delightful component of the renowned German textbook ZEBRA by Ernst Klett Verlag. Designed to be both a companion to the textbook and a standalone tool, this app provides a structured learning path filled with films, games, and a variety of exercises that guide young learners through the initial stages of mastering written German. It's the perfect introduction to the Zebra App series, tailored for students from years 1 to 4.
The newly updated ZEBRA WRITING TABLE app offers engaging exercises focused on writing phonetically based on fundamental vocabulary. It helps children practice basic phonetic-letter assignments with immediate feedback. If a child makes an incorrect attempt three times, the app automatically corrects the mistake, displaying the correct word alongside the child's input. This feature allows children to compare and recognize their errors, fostering basic orthographic awareness in a playful and educational manner. The tutorials in the app are designed to refresh with each new game, keeping the learning experience fresh and exciting.
The app includes a variety of engaging content:
- Videos that explain the basics in a way that's easy for children to understand.
- Automatic correction of incorrect entries after the third attempt.
- A clearly structured learning path with exercises.
- Opportunities for self-directed learning.
- Motivation through collecting stars and trophies.
- Detailed evaluations for teachers and parents to track progress and provide support.
Within the app, there are two main areas for practice:
The SWINGING SYLLABLES AND WRITING section introduces children to the writing table and includes various exercises:
- “initial-sound-rap”
- Movie "speak - listen - swing"
- Task "hear and swing"
- “ZEBRA writing table game”
- Movie "writing with the ZEBRA writing table"
- Task "swing and write" at both simple and difficult levels
The HEARING SOUNDS section focuses on developing phonological awareness, a crucial step in learning to write:
- Which word begins with...?
- Which words sound similar at the beginning?
- Where do you hear the sound in the word?
- With which sound does the word begin?
The four listening tasks in the HEARING SOUNDS section are available as an in-app purchase, which can only be accessed through the teacher-parent area, protected by a numerical barrier to prevent unauthorized purchases. This area also provides information to safeguard the tablet against unintended in-app purchases, ensuring a safe and controlled learning environment for your child.
We hope you and your child enjoy the exciting journey of learning to write in German with the ZEBRA WRITING TABLE app. We look forward to your feedback and comments.
