Read full descriptionHide full description
Die Kurzgeschichten aus der Reihe „Reading is fun“ von Chris Carter sind ein digitales Leseangebot für Englischanfänger in der Grundschule. Mit den lustigen Illustrationen und kleinen Animationen macht diese App Lust aufs Lesen und auf die englische Sprache. Der Einstieg in die Fremdsprache wird durch einen für Anfänger angemessenen geringen Schriftanteil erleichtert. Simple, aber sehr effektive Funktionen fördern die Lesekompetenz: - Eine Vorlesefunktion hilft den Kindern bei der korrekten Aussprache der Wörter und Texte und erleichtert den Zugang zur Sprache. - Durch die von englischen Muttersprachlern gesprochenen Audios prägt sich die englische Sprache in ihrer Lautgestalt und Struktur bei den Kindern sehr gut ein. - Der Text kann ein- und ausgeblendet werden. - Die Vorlesefunktion ist kombiniert mit einer Markier-Funktion, die das gerade vorgelesene Wort hervorhebt. - Mit Hilfe eines eingebauten Audio-Rekorders können die Kinder ihre eigene Stimme aufnehmen und ihren Lernfortschritt überprüfen. - Über ein Whiteboard ist die Lese-App in der Klasse ein Lesevergnügen für alle Kinder. Einzelne Schülerinnen und Schüler üben individuell am Tablet in ihrem eigenen Tempo mit der für sie notwendigen Unterstützung.
