Editor's Note: Chapter 100 of this site is for teaching young childern to read German. It makes no difference whether they are German childern or natives of some other country. This is an international cooperative effort by the members of GermanList@listbot.com. You are invited to join us. The final version of these pages should not look anything like this first effort.
I hope the first pages of Chaper 100 will be suitable for very young childern. My experience has been that young childern shown the words for hand, head, feet, fingers, and belly, can point to that part of their body. I painted those words on white cards. The letters were in red paint and 5 cm tall. When my son was age 17 months, he enjoyed this game so much that he often brought the cards to me wanting me to hold up cards so he could play the game. Now we can use a computer and the Times Roman Font. It should be simple to write a computer program in Qbasic which you can download for this exercise. At the top of the list could be the easiest words and lower on the list could be door, floor, and more difficult terms. The parent could enter the number 7 and the computer would display the the first 7 words randomly. If the child can't remember he could the - key of the numberic pad for help and get a picture. Or he could press + for the next word.
The members of GermanList@listbot.com could write these pages and those having childern at home or in their classroom could test the programs and report back to us. Reid Andrew Eddleman (age 3 months) are you paying attention?
104 - a sample page, please suggest modifications.
