MAX UND MORITZ: Wilhelm Busch' illustrated children's book Max und Moritz is one
of the most beloved works of German literature. The text of this workbook is original, but has been
supplemented with writing, comprehension, and vocabulary activities. The story is in rhymed verse form and the language is somewhat dated, but Wilhelm Busch' wonderful
illustrations enable students to understand much of the story even if they
don't understand every word. A must-read for intermediate students and up.
MAX UND MORITZ: Reading text and workbook combined, pdf, 56 pages

HEIDI: This is an abridged version of the original book by Johanna Spyri. The
author's writing style has not been changed; the text has merely been shortened to
simplify it for non-native speakers of German. The text is supplemented by
vocabulary annotations and a glossary of words that were common in the author's
native country of Switzerland at the time. Each chapter has been reduced to
2-5 pages of reading text without losing any of the important information or
stylistic elements of the original. Each chapter is followed by a 3-5 page workbook
section addressing grammar, comprehension and vocabulary elements of the
preceding chapter. The text/workbook is suitable for intermediate-level
students and up and is particularly helpful for independent-study situations with
limited teacher interaction.
