Teaching Philosophy
I find that the kids get overwhelmed when they try to read a book written in english.Often its because of the lack of vocabulary.The problem is the same when they try to listen to something in english.SO as a first step I am teaching them the 1000 most used words.Then as they are building up the vocuabilary( 5 words a day) ,i give them exercises and a passage to read --thats built up with just the words they know .No extra words.This way they just focus on their reading and hearing skilss.
