She had no | schooling in her own country at all, and could not read or write in any | language when she came here. Now, she is reading "books" of various sources | that are for ESL learners, but from my review the "books" seem to be of a | rather mixed nature, that is, some seem to have "moral" or preachy tones to | them, and some are down right scarey. The student is in her 40's, has | children (not with her), currently lives in a women's shelter, and has | endured incredible hardships. Nevertheless, she is determined to move | ahead, and wants to read and learn everything she can. I have no doubt she | will go on for her GED, and perhaps college here. In the meantime, what can | you suggest for her, and how do I go about getting the materials? | | Thanks for helping me. | | Judy | |
