      How to Create Stories That Children Can Actually Read

      Oct 9, 2023

      If I learned one thing as a young writer, it was that kids can read a book as long as it uses short words. It’s what I was taught by more seasoned editors and what I have applied to the hundreds of early reader books I’ve written and edited over the

      This book succeeds in providing enough practical ideas for newly qualified teachers to run courebook speaking tasks effectively while experienced teachers will be easily able to apply these ideas to enhance the speaking stages of their lessons. The fact that book is so short and concise means that even the busiest teacher will have time dip in for a bit of inspiration.
    • 5/5
      One of the most helpful books ever. This books offers a wide variety of activities you can do in various settings to improve the language skills of students. Thank you!
