Super Seatwork - Content Areas is a great ESL reinforcement workbook. It's also fun for the students because they cut and paste pictures under the correct words.

Hi! I need help. My school wants me to use tests to show relationship between reading comprehension and vocabulary. Can you think of tests I can use to show this. I do elementary ESL. Thanks!

Anyway, we were looking at a certain blog and he made the comment: “First time to read it” after I asked him if he thought the blog site was any good. I quickly corrected his English, stating that he should have said: “First time reading it” and that it’s an elliptical sentence, coming from the sentence: “It’s my first time reading this blog”. He wants me to give him a grammar rule why the sentence is supposed to have the gerund and not the infinitive because he’s heard it both ways, from American, Canadian, and British speakers. He says that his original sentence was: “It was my first time to read the blog”. He thinks I’m just stating my personal preference by using the gerund in this sentence and not that one way is grammatically correct and the other isn’t. He doesn’t think that using the infinitive is wrong in English, per se, for this structure.
Here are two examples he gave me: “It's just recently finished. Like we were paying the bill, ‘That was good. It's my first time to eat Turkish cuisine.’” “’This park is so soothing. It's my first time to visit this park although I live across the street’”.
Thanks for any help you can give me on this. (All I have to go on right now is what my intuition as an American native speaker is telling me.) Daniel Hanson High School Spanish Teacher Atwater, California, USA

Anyone else with me?
Do you know any websites that I could recommend to parents to help their children learn letter sounds and words. I already recommended starfall.com. thanks
I am heading to Mexico to work in an orphanage and teach English. I have never been trained in ESL (I am a Spanish teacher), so I would like to find online resources to help me with teaching English to children. I also need to review basic grammar concepts. I would appreciate any helpful links, book suggestions, etc.

After you get done with those, it'll probably still be clear as mud.
