The Zebra Writing Table

The app "The Zebra Writing Table" is conceptually based on the textbook "Zebra" from Ernst Klett Verlag, but can also be used independently of the textbook. The app transforms the tried-and-tested Zebra writing table into an interactive learning environment, making literacy acquisition tangible and systematic. It offers films, a game, exercises for listening, swinging and writing with the writing table, as well as free writing with voice output. Exercises for the sound gestures of the Zebra letter booklet have been added. All exercises are available free of charge.
The word material comes from the basic vocabulary and changes every time the app is played, so that even practicing several times doesn't get boring.
The following functions are included
- Videos explain the basics in a child-friendly way
- Correction of incorrect entries, automatic display of the correct solution after three failed attempts
- Clear arrangement of the exercises in a learning path
- Self-directed learning possible
- Motivation through collecting stars and trophies
- Detailed evaluation for teachers and parents as a basis for support
The two learning paths contain the following exercises:
Learning path 1:
- Film "Speak - listen - swing"
- Task "Listen and swing"
- Task "Which word begins with ...?"
- Task "Which words sound the same at the beginning?"
- Task "Where do you hear the sound? At the beginning or in the rest of the word?"
- Task "Which sound does the word begin with?"
- Film "Writing with the writing table"
- Zebra writing table game
- Task "Swinging and writing easy",
- Task "Swinging and writing difficult",
- Free writing with the writing table
Learning path 2
- Which sound gesture fits?
- What belongs together? Pair game for sound gestures
- Enter the appropriate letter.
- Write the word.
The Zebra Writing Table app shows how literacy acquisition can be successful. It combines tried and tested workbook methods with the possibilities of interactive media, creating a contemporary learning environment for initial instruction.

We hope you and your child enjoy the exciting process of learning to write and look forward to your comments and suggestions.

The app ZEBRA WRITING TABLE is a component of the German textbook ZEBRA by Ernst Klett Verlag and is
conceptually based on it. But it can also be used independently of the textbook. It offers a learning path with
films, a game and various exercises. These chapters illustrate the first stages of learning the written language.
This app is the prelude to the Zebra App series for learning to read and write in German, years 1 to 4.
The new app ZEBRA WRITING TABLE provides exercises for the writing of phonetically words based on
fundamental vocabulary. Basic phonetic-letter assignments are practiced. Wrong words are automatically
corrected after the third incorrect attempt. By showing the correctly written word as well as their own input,
the children can compare and recognize mistakes. Basic orthographic awareness is practiced in a playful way.
The contents of the tutorials in the two areas change with each new game of the app, so practicing doesn’t get
boring even with multiple games.
The following contents are included:
- Videos explaining the basics in a child-friendly way
- Incorrect entries are corrected, after the third attempt the correct solution is displayed automatically.
- Clear arrangement of exercises on a learning path
- Self-determined learning is possible
- Motivation by collecting stars and trophies
- Detailed evaluation for teachers and parents as a basis for promotion
In the app there are two areas to practice:
The area SWINGING SYLLABLES AND WRTING familiarizes children with the writing table and offers exercises.
- “initial-sound-rap”
- Movie "speak - listen - swing"
- Task "hear and swing"
- “ZEBRA writing table game”
- Movie "writing with the ZEBRA writing table"
- Task "swing and write" simple level
- Task "Swing and Write" difficult level
The area HEARING SOUNDS contains exercises for phonological awareness, which is a basic requirement for the
acquisition of the written language.
The following listening task types are included to the sounds section:
- Which word begins with...?
- Which words sound similar at the beginning?
- Where do you hear the sound in the word?
- With which sound does the word begin?
The four listening tasks can be acquired as an in-app purchase. This purchase is shown on the learning path, but
it is only possible in the teacher-parent area, which is protected from unwanted access by a numerical barrier.
It also provides information that protects the tablet from unwanted in-app purchases, making it impossible for
the child to purchase the app extensions.
We hope you and your child enjoy the exciting process of learning to write and look forward to receiving your
comments and remarks.
