Die Grundschule schreibt!

Die Grundschule schreibt! is a year-long educational project promoting German orthography for third- and fourth-grade pupils at primary and special schools in Hesse. Participating classes receive a weekly spelling lesson across five orthographic topics, culminating each topic in a class-internal spelling competition and a final school award. Teachers take part in a preparatory professional development course, receive teaching materials and are supported during implementation via (online) consultation hours. The project is implemented by the Kompetenzstelle Orthografie in cooperation with the Stiftung Polytechnische Gesellschaft and Hessian education partners.

Teacher professional development, teaching materials, weekly spelling lessons for one year, (online) consultation support, in-school competitions and a final school award.
