Welcome!

Hi and welcome to Keswick Schule Leseecke (Keswick School reading corner). Hopefully with this blog, you can choose reading materials that interest you which you can read at your own pace, whilst improving your German and at the same time getting signatures! On my posts I have put weblinks, which will lead you to sites containing reading materials. Read them, looking up words that you don't understand (try to work them out first) and then complete the online reading form on the tab above. Submit your form and I will credit you with 3 signatures (straight to your form head). To make it easier for you to choose, there is a list of contents on the right of the page. Click on the one that sounds good to you. If you prefer to read actual books and magazines, go to the appropriately named 'Books and Magazines' tab above for more information!


APPROXIMATE DIFFICULTY RATING:

*** Challenging! ** A bit tricky! * relatively straight forward!

Happy reading!
