Syd Hoff books made me think of my old days.
When my son started school in the US, his first teacher gave him Syd Hoff books.
He did not know how to read, but he fell in love with the stories.
The simple humorous pictures seemed to fascinate him.
He loved the funny animals in the story and, of course, DINOSAURS!!
My son's ESL teacher was Ms. Meg Moran, Meggy.
She taught him how to read and write English.
He learned English quickly and didn't have to go to the ESL soon.
But I had him meet with Meggy everyday, because I knew
he could have more chances to speak in the ESL class.
All the ESL students wanted to speak to Meggy without fear,
but when they went back to their class, they just sat back and stayed quiet.
Some Korean students had studied English in Korea,
and received good scores at the ESL evaluation test.
Then they usually stayed quiet in the main classrooms,
having no chance to speak, getting no attention from their teachers,
while their mothers were boasting, "My kid doesn't go to ESL."
My son saw Meggy for two years and had great tutoring from her.
She is my son's American mother now.
Oops, I almost forgot. This is what Ms. Meggy said about the worksheets of today.
While you read look at questions in the book. I
n English we change the order of the wordswhen we ask questions.
And some verbsneed the word do (did for past tense)
when we make asentence. For example:
Danny¡¯s friend is a dinosaur. Who is Danny¡¯s friend?
The dinosaur went to the school. Where did the dinosaur go?
Look at how the words change place in thesentence and question.
