The ZEBRA WRITING TABLE app is a delightful and engaging tool designed to kickstart children's journey into reading and writing German letters and words. It serves as a standalone companion to the German textbook ZEBRA by Ernst Klett Verlag, yet it's versatile enough to be used independently. The app is the first in the Zebra App series, tailored for students from years 1 to 4, making it an ideal starting point for young learners.
With a structured learning path, the app offers an array of interactive elements including films, games, and various exercises that guide children through the initial stages of learning written German. The ZEBRA WRITING TABLE focuses on writing phonetically based words, utilizing fundamental vocabulary to reinforce basic phonetic-letter associations. When children make mistakes, the app provides automatic corrections after the third incorrect attempt, displaying both the correct word and the child's input for easy comparison. This feature fosters a playful approach to developing orthographic awareness.
The content of the tutorials is dynamic, changing with each new game session to keep the learning experience fresh and engaging. The app includes:
- Child-friendly videos that explain the basics.
- Automatic correction of incorrect entries, with the correct solution shown after the third attempt.
- A clear layout of exercises along a learning path.
- Opportunities for self-determined learning.
- Motivation through collecting stars and trophies.
- Detailed evaluations for teachers and parents to support progress tracking.
The app is divided into two key areas for practice. The SWINGING SYLLABLES AND WRITING section introduces children to the writing table and includes:
- “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 simple and difficult levels
The HEARING SOUNDS area focuses on phonological awareness, essential for mastering written language, with tasks like:
- 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?
These listening tasks are available as an in-app purchase, accessible only through a protected teacher-parent area to prevent accidental purchases by children. The app ensures safety by safeguarding against unwanted in-app purchases.
We're excited for you and your child to embark on this fun learning adventure with ZEBRA WRITING TABLE. We welcome your feedback and look forward to hearing from you.
