All in all, I really liked this reading because it gave various examples/worksheets on how to introduce new vocabulary to our students. My friend, who teaches ESL has been asking of ways to incorporate other school subjects into her curriculum, and the worksheet on page 51 would work great!!! In one class, not only can English be covered but also PE, Math, Science, etc. How exciting! Also the chart on page 49 is something I'd like to use in my class. It could help me and my students keep track of their progress. It can be used as a before and after...what a great confidence booster.
As far as using a dictionary is concerned, I for the most part didn't learn from them. This reading brought back memories to when I didn't know how to spell a word, and my teacher would tell me to look it up in the dictionary. It didn't make sense to me. How was I supposed to look up a word if I didn't know how to spell it???
