Wonderful and exciting book for ESOL Teachers

This is the book I've been waitng for! This material can assist me in encouraging my students to think about their lives and write about them. I have students who are just beginning to learn English and those who are nearing proficiency. I love this book because it gives them examples of what they can do if they try. It can reach all levels of proficiency in English.

In The Words Of A Child

This is an amazing realistic look at Immigration through the eyes of a child. The first person accounts are written in a way that children will connect with and relate to. The text provides an opportunity for modern day immigrants to share their stories as they read the first hand accounts of children new to America.
