Read And Write With Zebra

Empower your child's early literacy journey with Read And Write With Zebra, an engaging app based on the German textbook ZEBRA by Ernst Klett Verlag, yet fully usable independently! This app provides a structured learning path with films, games, and various exercises designed to introduce children to the first stages of learning the written German language, ideal for elementary school students (Years 1-4).

A Dynamic Learning Path for German Literacy:

Read And Write With Zebra offers exercises for writing phonetic words based on fundamental vocabulary, practicing basic phonetic-letter assignments. The app ensures learning never gets boring by changing content with each new game.

Key Features for Effective Learning:

• Child-Friendly Videos: Explanations of basics are presented in a clear and engaging way.
• Adaptive Correction: Incorrect entries are corrected, and after three attempts, the correct solution is automatically displayed, allowing children to compare and recognize their mistakes, fostering orthographic awareness.
• Structured Exercises: A clear arrangement of exercises on a learning path supports self-determined learning.
• Motivation & Rewards: Children are motivated by collecting stars and trophies as they progress.
• Detailed Evaluation: Teachers and parents receive a detailed evaluation as a basis for further support.

Two Core Practice Areas:

• Swinging Syllables and Writing: Familiarizes children with the writing table through activities like "initial-sound-rap," "speak - listen - swing" movies, "hear and swing" tasks, the "ZEBRA writing table game," and "swing and write" tasks at simple and difficult levels.
• Hearing Sounds: Contains exercises for phonological awareness, a fundamental requirement for acquiring written language. This section includes tasks like identifying which word begins with a certain sound, recognizing similar beginning sounds, locating sounds within a word, and identifying a word's initial sound.

The "Hearing Sounds" tasks are available as an in-app purchase, protected within a parent/teacher area. We hope you and your child enjoy the exciting process of learning to read and write in German!
