      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

      Introduction

      I love teaching. I love my students and I love finding new ideas that improve my teaching. This is how I teach. My curriculum is adjustable, changeable and always in a state of change because teaching from a book, one book, doesn't work.

      Everyone wants to learn conversation, especially listening to and understanding English speakers. The best way to do this is on your own is to build your vocabulary by reading books, especially children’s books, with a dictionary close by, watching movies, reading the newspaper and talking only in English.

      When teaching I always use Total Physical Response (James A Asher) it is a technique that quickly develops your listening vocabulary. Any techniques that give opportunities for students to understand what you say and respond are essential.

      My favourite ones are TPR, Flashcards, Toys, CAT, Ball6, Fantastic Phonics, Explode the code, Zoo, CONVO AB, Conversation cards, TPR Story Telling, Genki English, and Hidden Pictures. All of these work well and after teaching thousands of students I have had time to improve how I teach them. They all can be improved on and added on to, which gives me a great feeling of satisfaction knowing I am getting better all the time.

      I hope you will find some if not many ideas that you can use from this small book. This book is not a user manual. It is full of ideas that you can use and change. Many of these techniques are explained in detail on the
