How can I help a low-achieving child to read English as a second language?
Favorite Answer
It has been redone to be a one on one tutoring guide.
The lessons are easy 15 to 20 minute a day phonics’s/Reading lessons, and I found that most children read at second, or third grade level by lesson 70 or 75.
Try Amazon or Barnes and Noble the book is between $15.00 and $20.00.
With the phonetics he can kinda spell things out / sound them out. He’ll begin to recognize words( try to link words with pictures).
At that point give him homework of reading a book (children’s books- cat in the hat, green eggs and ham,etc.)
Then, just keep progressing upwards with reading(there’s a system, i think you might be able to find it in google – called the Accelerated Reader system [you’ll be able to find reading levels in there 1 to 12.9] – with 1 being the lowest, and 12 being the highest)
Begin to have him write essays and learn to link his paragraphs and thoughts together- start off with a sort of skeleton essay(a essay is like a burger you have the buns(intro+conclude), lettuce(1st), meat(2nd), cheese(3rd), and a end bun.
Work a lot on essays at that point. This is basically what they teach American kids from 1st – 9th grade.
