Improve your reading skills with Reading Together
Shared Reading is an effective teaching tool for low-literate and newly literate language learners, aiming to achieve reading level A2 according to the CEFR. This book is particularly suitable for those learning Dutch as a second language (NT2), both for individual use and for group classroom use. The stories in this book revolve around the residents of Julianastraat and offer a humorous and richly illustrated way to explore everyday topics. This not only helps students improve their reading skills but also expand their vocabulary, which helps them prepare for the civic integration exam, specifically the Knowledge of Dutch Society (KNM) section.
Each story includes processing exercises, allowing students to immediately apply what they've learned. The material is designed to be used independently, as a class, or in small groups, allowing for flexible learning. This also makes it ideal for self-study.
The accompanying website offers extensive supplementary materials, such as interactive exercises and answers to the exercises in the book. Teachers can request a comprehensive manual through this website, which contains additional suggestions for lessons and exercises focused on writing and speaking skills for the integration exam. This allows the same reading text to be used to train various skills.
In the revised edition, the texts have been updated and the exercises on the website have been adapted, while the available teacher's material has been significantly expanded with specific practice material for the integration exam.
This product complements the previously successful Beter lezen (Better Reading) by Marilene Gathier and Dorine de Kruyf and offers even more opportunities to improve language skills. Intertaal is your reliable supplier for this learning resource and guarantees fast delivery.
