培養讀者的德語閱讀俱樂部（閱讀！寫作！討論！）

▬▬▬▬▬▬  ⭐Course Overview⭐ ▬▬▬▬▬▬
This ongoing class focuses on developing the German language reading skills of non-native German speakers who have a basic vocabulary foundation and can read simple sentences in German. The course is designed for students who can recognize all German letters and sounds. In each class, students will have the opportunity to read stories from Levels D-J of the Reading A-Z series, featuring adventures of children, animals, and other fictional and non-fictional characters exploring various everyday topics. The class will be taught in both English and German.

Throughout the course, students will improve their vocabulary and comprehension skills while also enhancing their ability to self-correct their reading mistakes. The course will cover topics such as family, home, school, the park, the zoo, friends, pets, and the store. Each class will involve letter activities, vocabulary review, story reading, comprehension, and writing. Students will interact with their classmates and instructor continuously through talking, writing, reading, and completing activities on the slides.

Students are welcome to join and leave at any time, as there is no previous information needed in order to succeed in the current week’s lesson. If you’d like to know exactly what week we are in (and that week’s topic), please send us a message to inquire.

▬▬▬▬▬▬  📚Literature Read📚 ▬▬▬▬▬▬
In the first four weeks of the course, students will read four stories, starting with "My Neighborhood" and concluding with "Do Not Eat That." Additional stories will be introduced in the following weeks. 

▬▬▬▬▬▬  💬Language of Instruction💬▬▬▬▬▬▬
This is an immersion class, which means lessons will be taught primarily in German. However, teachers will use English as necessary to guide students.

▬▬▬▬▬▬  ✨Target Student✨▬▬▬▬▬▬
Readers at the Developing Reader's level, apply their understanding of phonics to read unfamiliar words, recognize frequently read words by sight, and self-correct their reading mistakes. They also focus on decoding, which requires fewer cognitive resources for comprehension. The course materials will reflect the characteristics of developing readers, including increasingly more lines of print per page, more complex sentence structure, fewer repetitive patterns, and pictures that relate to the story.

Students should be firm with ALL letters and sounds of the German language. Students should be experienced with sounding out words and reading sentences in German and have a basic vocabulary foundation.
