| Title | More Graded Readers for Students of English (Part 2) |
| Body | Here are a few more sources of graded readers recommended by teachers of English. ---- Penguin has an extensive collection at http://www.penguinreaders.com/pr/resources/index.html Macmillian has a new series called simply read at www.macmillanenglish.com/readers Ayer, D. readers--attn: jennifer. Teachers of English to speakers of other languages electronic list. TESL-L@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (14 June 2006). ---- I went to a conference in May where Stephen Krashen spoke and one thing he addressed was the importance of ESL students reading in the target language. He recommended that they read anything for a period of time each day; even comic books and romanace novels. The students should be allowed to read what interests them. Krashen suggested trying "Sweet Valley" series -- the younger the characters in the series, the easier the vocabulary but all of interest, even for adults. I have brought in books I found at yard sales and my students began voluntarily reading them. His articles on reading can be read at: http://www.sdkrashen.com/articles/decline_of_reading/index.html and http://www.sdkrashen.com/articles/pac5/index.html Gable, K.
