Colourful and imaginative, cheerful and thought-provoking, fun and sweet – Papperlapapp has plenty of surprises in store with its emotion, wit and humour, plus a deliberate departure from a strict style of teaching. The stories and other texts, written by renowned authors, are a delight to read aloud and also encourage children to read on their own. Established and up-and-coming illustrators from around the world create wonderfully unique imagery. All of this makes children want to look at and listen to Papperlapapp, which provides plenty of opportunities for discussion.
Papperlapapp magazines are designed to be used to support (early) language development both at home and in preschool and primary school. When used in an educational setting, it is best if the magazines are first read aloud and discussed at home in the child’s first language. This allows children to familiarise themselves with the content so they feel more confident and get more involved when the texts are then read and worked on in German at preschool or primary school. As a result, children will find it easier – and more fun – to pick up German, the language they will use in their education.
