Reading expands knowledge. However, nowadays TV, Internet, ipads and game consoles seem to take over the classic evening reading routine.  But why is it so important to encourage children to read?

  • It increases a child’s vocabulary as well as their understanding of new words.
  • It improves a child’s grammar and writing skills. Your student or child also develops important communication skills.
  • It makes them better readers. That’s a given.
  • Reading improves their understanding of the world.
  • It might even have a profound effect on your student’s future school success.
  • Reading also develops a child’s creativity and imagination.

Bilingualism and reading

Most children are able to learn two languages at once. Hence enjoyable literacy activities are a useful tool to accelerate and improve your student’s vocabulary growth. It is important that you make reading as fun as possible for your students! It is best to let your students choose a reading activity or book. By doing so, they can follow their own interests which makes the activity more engaging.

Use the following worksheet to improve your student’s German vocabulary knowledge and word usage.
