Speedy Spelling Detectives

Die Rechtschreibedetektive

Product Description:
Entry-level spelling tutorial with vocabulary cards for school years 1 to 3 "Rechtschreibdetektive" is based on the practical work of three primary school teachers. They have developed a tutorial that follows on from the reading learning process, and that is designed to facilitate access to orthography learning (1st to 3rd classes). The tutorial also suggests strategies for self-guided orthography learning. The set of 256 coloured word cards is the central learning and working tool. The cards draw the children's attention to specific orthographic features, and provide the pupils with a basic stock of orthographic knowledge and skills. The existing set of cards is subsequently and gradually expanded by "personal" cards created by the children themselves.
