      Based on the classic story by Johanna Spyri. Heidi loves living in the mountains with her grandfather and her friend Peter, and is homesick when she moves to Frankfurt. Will she make it back to her beloved mountains? Read it yourself with Ladybird is one of Ladybird's best-selling series. For over thirty-five years it has helped young children who are learning to read develop and improve their reading skills. Each Read it yourself book is very carefully written to include many key, high-frequency words that are vital for learning to read, as well as a limited number of story words that are introduced and practised throughout. Simple sentences and frequently repeated words help to build the confidence of beginner readers and the four different levels of books support children all the way from very first reading practice through to independent, fluent reading. Each book has been carefully checked by educational consultants and can be read independently at home or used in a guided reading session at school. Further content includes comprehension puzzles, helpful notes for parents, carers and teachers, and book band information for use in schools. Heidi is a Level 4 Read it yourself title, ideal for children who are ready to read longer stories with a wider vocabulary and are keen to read independently.

      37 kurze Geschichten eines Lehrers

      War die Schule früher besser als heute? Werden die Schüler zu einem unmenschlichen Lerntempo gezwungen? Machen die Schülerinnen im Grunde überhaupt nichts? Können die Schüler weder schreiben, lesen noch rechnen? Können die Lehrerinnen weder schreiben, lesen noch rechnen? Tausend Fragen umschwirren die Schule, tausend Urteile, die wir aus unserer eigenen Vergangenheit beziehen, tausend Vorurteile. Fabio Pusterla stellt sich ihnen. Ausgehend von kleineren und grösseren Begebenheiten in seinem Unterrichtsalltag überlegt er unvoreingenommen, warum etwas gelingt, etwas anderes nicht. Er erzählt von notwendigen Provokationen, vom Fordern und Vorbild-Sein, von den fachlichen Anforderungen und menschlichen Beziehungen. Pusterlas Reflexionen über die Schule berühren, weil sie von einem tief humanen Engagement für die Entwicklung junger Menschen geprägt sind.
