Her motivation will be key to a productive learning experience for her.<br /><br />I do have a few books that might be helpful to you but as you've probably guessed, you won't just be able to open up a book and go. I am working on a series of articles about learning to read and write in German (to be published in a few weeks). Let me also forward you a few ideas and let's see if we can find something that will work for your kids. <br /><br />Viele Gruesse!<br />SarahAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03942574511285895644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13386535.post-92195486986344018792009-07-21T12:30:27.643-04:002009-07-21T12:30:27.643-04:00Hi Sarah,

We moved to Canada from Germany two years ago. My 9yo had 6 months of schooling in a German school and learned to read and write at a grade 1 level. He has lost most of what he learned because we homeschool in English and dad really wanted to become fluent in English (he's German and I am Canadian). Now my almost 7yo dd wants to learn how to read and write too. They want to read the books Oma sends them for birthdays and Christmas and write to some of their old friends. I must admit that we hardly speak any German anymore, but are working on our house rules for when we speak German to the kids and each other. We listen to German cassettes on car rides and occassionally at home. I am at a loss at what German materials I can use for school. They aren't total beginners because they can speak and understand, but their reading and writing is way behind. Do you have any suggestions??? We have books, cassettes, CD's and DVD's but no school books in German. Or should I just use what I have and make it up as we go along?Tina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091162271468740853noreply@blogger.com
