2.9 Reading Aloud (Fluency)

• Echo reading of a getting-around pattern: Wie kommt man in die Stadt? Man nimmt den Bus. Wo ist die Haltestelle? Gegenüber dem Markt.
• Transport bank in connected text: der Bus, der Minibus, das Motorrad, das Fahrrad, der Zug, das Boot
• Kenyan names in German clothes: matatu = der Minibus; boda-boda = das Motorrad — local name once, then the German class
• Dramatic reading of a Haltestelle poster and a short stage dialogue; safety lines at the same pace as the route

• read simple transport texts fluently using the right intonation and pace
• infer meaning of words from simple texts on getting around
• show enthusiasm in reading through exposure to simple varied texts

“Which means of transport do you use?”
