Welcome to the section of book reviews!
Here you'll find a selection of illustrated books, useful for teaching English as a Second Language to very young children, but also several classics (and less-known works) for pre-teens.
If you are a teacher looking for help in analyzing the books your students are reading, then... this is your page!
At the end of each review, there are links to specific classroom activities waiting for you!!!
Enjoy them!

2) CAPTAIN NO BEARD by Carole P. Roman
I design series of activities based on a communicative method that will help children to practice the grammar they're learning at school.

1) CLASSICAL COMICS I design series of activities based on a communicative method that will help children to practice the grammar they're learning at school.
Many ESL activities, I see, are nothing more than 'fill in the blank' exercises that only teach kids how to fill in blanks and miss the whole point of learning to speak and understand a new language.
It's much easier and more fun to learn by doing, and you'll be surprised at how quickly you'll see valuable results.
