Wordwynn : a textbook of Old English by Fritz  Stieleke

Wordwynn is a textbook of Old English that concentrates on the Old English language as a medium of everyday communication. It wants to enable its readers to form and speak a stock of simple Old English sentences in basic speech situations. If you read all the texts and do all the exercises, at the end of this language course you will be able to answer in OE a personal questionnaire.

Of course, this book is also meant to teach some basic Old English grammar and vocabulary. In this book, Old English grammar is not taught in a systematic way. In the grammar tables at the end of the book, at least the nouns, adjectives and pronouns are never treated in an isolated way as in traditional grammars, they are always embedded in whole sentences. Teachers can use this book as the basic textbook in an Old English class. They are also free to use additional material. They can also use this book as a companion to another textbook of their own choice.
