Picture Books for ESL Kids

This is great!

Why can't some students seem to crack the code? To memorize sight words? To build fluency? ⁉️

You've tried every multisensory activity, game, app, and song under the sun....

..and nothing seems to work! 😭

I (Dr. Marnie Ginsberg) faced the same problem with 2 of my failing 6th grade students who couldn't even read Dr. Seuss. 😳

After much searching and trial and error, I discovered simple, research-based activities that accelerated these 2 boys over 3 YEARS' GROWTH....

..in just a matter of months.

The game that kicked off all their improvements--Switch It--shows beginning and struggling readers of all ages SO many core principles about reading...

🎯 the concept of the alphabetic principle,
🎯 letter-sound knowledge,
🎯 phoneme segmentation,
🎯 phoneme manipulation (the hardest level of PA),
🎯 early decoding, and
🎯 early spelling.

Not only does this simple 5-minute Switch It decoding hack help transform non-readers into readers rapidly...💯

..they also LOVE playing the game!

One book that I uses again and again with my younger ESL students is 'Excuse Me!' by Karen Katz. Subtitled 'A Little Book of Manners' it has useful polite expressions like "Thank you", "No thank you", "Sorry" and "Excuse me". This book is short (good for short attention spans!) and really cute. My 3 - 6 year old students always react really well when I read it. The moms always like this book too! :-)

I know it's a bit early for Christmas books, but Angel For The Christmas Tree is free to download until midnight on May 14. It is based on 12 Days of Christmas, but with decorations for the tree.
