Read and write with Zebra

Looking for a fun and engaging way to help your child learn the first German letters and words? The ZEBRA WRITING TABLE app is here to make that journey both educational and entertaining. Designed as a companion to the German textbook ZEBRA by Ernst Klett Verlag, this app can be used alongside the book or independently, offering a comprehensive learning path filled with videos, games, and various exercises. It's the perfect starting point for children embarking on their journey to read and write in German, suitable for learners from years 1 to 4.

ZEBRA WRITING TABLE is all about mastering the basics of writing phonetic words using fundamental vocabulary. It helps children practice essential phonetic-letter associations, and if they make a mistake, the app kindly corrects them after the third attempt. By displaying the correct word alongside the child's attempt, it fosters a deeper understanding and recognition of errors, all while building foundational orthographic awareness in a playful manner. The ever-changing content in the tutorials keeps the learning experience fresh and exciting, even after multiple games.

The app is packed with engaging features:

• Videos that explain the basics in a child-friendly way
• Automatic correction of incorrect entries, with the correct solution shown after the third try
• A clear, structured learning path filled with exercises
• Options for self-paced learning
• Motivational rewards like stars and trophies
• Detailed evaluations for teachers and parents to track progress

Within the app, there are two distinct areas designed to enhance learning:

The SWINGING SYLLABLES AND WRITING section introduces children to the writing table and includes a variety of 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 simple and difficult levels

The HEARING SOUNDS section focuses on phonological awareness, a crucial step in mastering written language. It includes listening tasks such as:

• 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 were previously available as in-app purchases, but in the latest version, they are included without additional cost. The teacher-parent area, safeguarded by a numerical barrier, ensures that these features are only accessible to adults, preventing unwanted in-app purchases and keeping the tablet secure.

We hope you and your child enjoy the exciting journey of learning to write with ZEBRA WRITING TABLE. We eagerly await your feedback and comments.
