danno6 Posted August 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 nope, definately trying to encourage her english reading comprehension, which she does mostly by reading gossip magazines. The advantage of this is that the stories are short, and thus hold her interest. Her problem is that a larger book, at this stage of her development, is too difficult to comprehend and hold her interest. But she does enjoy reading to relax....and thus wants something more than the gossip pages...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Have you thought of simplified English books for your Mrs? There are different levels meant for foreign students of English. They are written according to a limited vocabulary - say 500 words, 1000 words, 2000 words etc. Good way to get her to practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
