Suggestions needed for Learning(Teaching) reading

339 posts

I will be heading to Haiti next month and the teachers are requesting feedback and ideas on teaching English at the school I will be visiting.

I am looking for good resources on methods of teaching/lessons, software suggestions and non computer games and methods of learning.

I have ordered "Proust and the Squid" and am looking at Maryanne Wolf video's suggested by Mike Lee.

Thanks,

Stephen

Hi Steve,

Hope you don’t mind a shameless plug. How about having students in the USA teach kids there using our software.

www.3dicc.com

You could have kids in world, they could read signs, follow verbal instructions, watch videos and be mentored by a native speaker.

All the best,

Steve,
You might take a look at this:
PUT READING FIRST, the publication that Bonnie Armbruster, Jean Osborn, and Fran Lehr compiled for the National Institute of Child Health and Development (a summary of the large NATIONAL READING PANEL REPORT prepared by DOE in 2001).
