The Kinder Lernen Deutsch (LKD) materials evaluation project identifies materials appropriate for the elementary school German classrooms in grades K-8. This guide consists of an annotated bibliography, with ratings, of these materials. The guiding principles by which the materials were assessed were: use of the communicative approach; integration of subject-area content from the regular curriculum into the German curriculum; functional use of grammar; consistent use of German; promotion of intercultural understanding; use of concrete materials (visuals, props, realia); age appropriateness; use of learner-centered activities; incorporation of a spiral approach to language concepts and topics; and flexibility. The criteria, with a five-point rating scale, included evaluating: the goals, organizing principles, cultural content, subject-content, thinking skills, bias, flexibility, physical characteristics, support materials, and costs of each item. Thirteen commercial texts were recommended. Each description includes: title; author; publisher; sources; publication date; intended age level; intended language development level; ISBN number; components; comments (an annotation); and KLD rating. A suggested sequence of materials for programs of foreign language in the elementary school (FLES), suggestions for supplementary materials for a basic classroom library, a list of dictionaries, teacher resources (songs and rhymes, visuals and teaching methods), magazines, recommended catalogs, and publishers' addresses conclude the document.
