ABC der Tiere 2

Learn and deepen reading in a playful way using the syllable method.

Every child can learn to read - with the “ABC of Animals 2 app” and the syllable method, this is guaranteed to happen. The ABC of Animals app offers a wealth of exercises for children aged around 6 and up that deepen and sustainably support learning to read in a playful way.

The learning software was awarded the “Comenius EduMedia Seal 2019”. The seal certifies that the ABC of Animals app has a high didactic and media quality.

The advantages:

The syllable method is a well-founded and proven concept: the colored hyphen separator helps all children learn to read right from the start. In the app, the texts are shown in syllabics (blue and red):

The app offers extensive material: The entire learning material of the 2nd school year is covered in the app.

The tasks are explained in detail so that the children can practice on their own with the app.

The app’s exercise formats:

• Reading texts to read along: many texts in the reading book are displayed syllable by syllable

◦ The syllables are displayed in the reading direction (from left to right). Security in the reading direction is fundamental. This is optimally supported by the syllable-by-syllable display (“at the touch of a finger”).

◦ Children can see and hear the syllables at the same time (with the sound on)

◦ Each child can determine their own reading pace.

• Opposites: Find pairs of words

• Word puzzle: form compounds

• Verb families: personal forms
