hi,

looking for books, articles, resources and other reading materials (err..no fashion or entertainment magazines) that are suitable for lower secondary students.

really to use these materials to teach english, and to spark their interest and encourage them to read.

any recommendations?

thanks! Wink

international hereld tribunal Laughing i dunnoe lar, i dun really read anything much back then.

Memoirs of a Geisha is not bad. Contained lots of adjectives, will definitely increase your vocab bank if read like twice. But its kinda long winded. So its better to quote paras from the whole book. Clay Marble by Mingfo Ho. All the books by her are good. Um.. Rice without Rain etc.

thanks for all the suggestions although i think FEER and IHT can hardly be used as educational material for lower sec students.

what books are being used for lower sec lit? can they do? or would they be too cheem? i still rem last time i read i am david and sing to the dawn, but i cant rem whether they are too deep or not.

what about resources? websites, collections?

anyway i have been using short stories from singapore ghost stories. anything parallels to draw?

thanks...

trying to get them interested to read.. i believe that would at least be a good starting point to improving their english.
