textbook for high intermediate

by Brenda

Feb 3, 2011

Hi, I am wondering what textbook or materials you use for your high intermediate students. I struggle with finding material for them.

I have 2 students in 8th grade, 1 in 10 grade and 1 in 12th grade. They all do very well with speaking and listening, but struggle with reading and writing.

Thanks in advance!

by DaveAnimal

Feb 16, 2011

I've been using these sentence frames with my EL students for the past month. The frames themselves aren't new, but the way they are organized by comprehension skill and color coded for differenting for students is what I like. I have had great success and I think other EL students could as well.
