Looking for a fun and engaging way to start learning the German alphabet and your first words? Look no further than the ZEBRA WRITING TABLE app, a delightful companion to the renowned German textbook ZEBRA by Ernst Klett Verlag. This app isn't just an extension of the textbook; it's a standalone learning adventure perfect for young beginners diving into the world of German.
ZEBRA WRITING TABLE kicks off the Zebra App series, designed for children in years 1 to 4, and offers an interactive learning path filled with films, games, and a variety of exercises. These resources are tailored to guide your child through the initial stages of mastering written German in an entertaining and educational manner.
The app focuses on phonetic word writing, using fundamental vocabulary to help children practice essential phonetic-letter assignments. If a word is entered incorrectly three times, the app steps in to correct it, displaying the correct word alongside the child's attempt. This feature not only corrects mistakes but also enhances basic orthographic awareness through play. With the content of the tutorials changing with each new game, repetition never feels tedious.
Here's what you can expect in the app:
- Child-friendly videos that break down the basics
- Automatic correction of incorrect entries, with the right answer shown after the third attempt
- A well-organized learning path with various exercises
- The flexibility for self-paced learning
- Motivational rewards like stars and trophies
- Detailed evaluations for teachers and parents to track progress
The app is divided into two engaging areas:
1. **SWINGING SYLLABLES AND WRITING**: This section introduces children to the writing table through a series of fun exercises, including:
- "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
2. **HEARING SOUNDS**: This area focuses on phonological awareness, a crucial foundation for learning to write. It includes listening 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 unwanted purchases by children.
In the latest version 3.3.4, updated on October 29, 2024, you'll find new exercises for sound gestures, the removal of in-app purchases, and technical updates to enhance the overall experience.
We hope you and your child enjoy this exciting journey into learning to write German. We're eager to hear your feedback and comments!
Best regards,
Your Zebra Team
