Read and write with Zebra

The ZEBRA WRITING TABLE app is a delightful and engaging tool designed to introduce young learners to the world of reading and writing in German. As a companion to the renowned German textbook ZEBRA by Ernst Klett Verlag, this app can be used both in conjunction with the textbook and independently, making it a versatile resource for early language education.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Interactive Learning Path: The app offers a structured learning journey with engaging videos, games, and a variety of exercises that guide children through the initial stages of learning written German. This path is designed to keep young learners motivated and engaged.

• Phonetic and Orthographic Practice: ZEBRA WRITING TABLE focuses on the writing of phonetic words using fundamental vocabulary. It helps children practice basic phonetic-letter assignments, and after three incorrect attempts, the app automatically corrects the wrong words, displaying both the correct word and the child's input for comparison. This feature aids in developing basic orthographic awareness in a fun and interactive way.

• Dynamic Content: The tutorials and exercises within the app change with each new game, ensuring that practice remains fresh and exciting, even after multiple sessions.

• Motivational Elements: Children can collect stars and trophies as they progress, adding an element of fun and motivation to their learning journey. Additionally, detailed evaluations are available for teachers and parents, providing valuable insights for further support and encouragement.

• Two Practice Areas:

  • Swinging Syllables and Writing: This section introduces children to the writing table through a series of engaging activities, including the "initial-sound-rap," movies like "speak - listen - swing," tasks such as "hear and swing," the "ZEBRA writing table game," and writing exercises at both simple and difficult levels.
  • Hearing Sounds: This area focuses on phonological awareness, a crucial foundation for learning written language. It includes listening tasks such as identifying the initial sound of words, recognizing similar sounds at the beginning of words, locating sounds within words, and determining the starting sound of words.

• In-App Purchases: The four listening tasks in the Hearing Sounds section are available as an in-app purchase, accessible only through a protected teacher-parent area to prevent unintended purchases by children.

What's New in Version 3.3.4:

• Introduction of exercises for sound gestures
• Removal of in-app purchases
