I was wondering if anyone has any good ideas for the reading sections of Look I Can Talk mini stories? I'm running out of ideas and I think my students are...
Just a thought: I wouldn't think we need a variety of reading techniques to make reading interesting. We just need interesting reading material. Is it...
If the passage is dull, I would have them translate very quickly and that's all. (Out loud, NOT writing!) Focus more on the meaning than on the language. As...
Roberta, I think the reading material is interesting, but sometimes confusing for the students as the passages are so unusual. I think this is a problem with...
Hello Susie, Thanks for taking the time to write back. I like the idea of doing a parall story. I think I'll give it a try next class. Another idea I have for...
Hi Melinda, Oh... I forgot again that you are working with Japanese children. (I forget what age though.) Hmmm... I saw a lot of the same thing when I visited...
Yes, Melinda I do remember you! I think of you often. If you have questions on the readings (like fill in the blank) here is one of my favorite homework...

Dear Melinda, Do you know what time your workshop will be yet? I'd really love to come, but Shizuoka is an awfully long way away, and if it finishes after 3pm...
Hello Jack, Thanks for showing interest in my workshop. Unfortunately, I still don't know what time my presentation is. Also, keep in mind that it's only a 45...
I've been trying to keep away from the internet but not being very successful since I'm back again :-) I've been experimenting with different things this year ...
I can also vouch for the Mandarin DVDs! I was definitely going way too fast when I tried TPRS last time. I'm going to start using it properly after Christmas....
