Imagine scuba diving near the Florida coast and suddenly getting sucked into the huge pump of a nuclear power plant! Or writing love letters to someone every day for a year, only to see that person marry the mail carrier!
The universal appeal of these real-life, human-interest stories engages beginning ESL students with humor, poignancy, or astonishment, and helps them to become fluent readers.
Each book features:
-- Pre-reading questions.
-- Exercises in vocabulary, comprehension, discussion, and writing.
-- Carefully controlled vocabulary and structures.
-- A variety of essential reading skills.
-- Activities for pair or small-group work.
An ideal first text for students with little or no experience with English. The stories are told first in pictures, then in simple text -- always in the present tense.
The high-interest content and simple format will motivate your students to read and discuss -- in English!
