ESL Activities and Mini-Books for Every Classroom

Good resource, I intend to use this book as much as possible

This is a great tool for teaching the English language to native and non native learners. The approach is student oriented and is very much supplemental. I thought there would be a little more to it, for the teacher, but you have to sort of wing it. It is great for younger learners but is a simple tool that older learners (adults) can enjoy- if they just want to take a few minutes to break from more rigorous adult oriented English aquisition.

These projects are very easy and fun for some students.

I teach private ESL lessons and I was a bit disappointed with the book. The activities pages are helpful but most of the suggestions are group-oriented. There are not many in depth lessons- this is good for ice breakers/ beginning of class activities.

This book wasn't as nice as I thought it would be. The activities are very, very sparse. I was expecting to get a lot more out of it than I did and was quite disappointed when it turned out to primarily be a book of supplementary activities/materials. If you're looking for a lot of activities and ideas for your ESL classroom, look elsewhere. This is a nice book to have to garnish ideas from, but you're still going to need to digging on online for everything else.

I am very pleased with this book and have used it a lot with my ESL students. Keep in mind that it is for younger children although I have used a couple of ideas with my older kids; I just made it more age appropriate.

The information presented in the book was clear. Although the book is written for teachers it can be recommended to parents. The activities can easily be incorporated into daily activities and provide information in a non stressful way for children.

This requires a ton of hands on work, photocopying and time that I truly never had. This also does not correspond to many Common Core standards, so justifying having an aide spend time on these was impossible. In another time and place, with more time, resources, and support this might be a viable resource--but I got very little use out of it.

Activities look good for young children without much English, but just be aware there are some words misspelt if you are in UK (‘Color’ instead of ‘colour’). Might cause some confusion if you are teaching new arrivals.

To introduce English as a Second Language, this text is very simple and easy to be understood by children. Exercises where pictures to convey meaning, which will enable people to grasp the basics of English and its spelling.

Good

Tiene pocas actividades.Viene con una introducción de unas 8 páginas con ideas para trabajar en clase (no lo he leído entero así que no puedo opinar mucho sobre ello). Todo en inglés.Mas bien dirigido para alumnos de 1º o 2º de Primaria.Tiene ejercicios para trabajar la moneda pero se hacen con dólares americanos.Trabaja contenidos como las formas, los colores, los números, las horas, entre otros.Además tiene un apartado que se llama "living in the USA" que para mi ha sido completamente inútil porque sé que no lo voy a usar: trabajan brevemente cosas como los estados, la bandera, etc.Se pueden salvar algunos dibujos para hacer pósters y algunas fichas, pero no lo volvería a comprar.

As I'd never taught children, the best part was page 17. It has some games with index cards that elementary school teachers probably know already. Great value for the price, really. Be advised that the book is designed for elementary school teachers (not English teachers) that live in the US and have to teach and welcome foreign students who don't speak English
