>>| Hello, everyone!
>>|
>>| Am looking for reading material for a Somalian woman who has entered an 
>>ESL
>>| program in June of this year and has moved quickly from Intro to our 
>>Level 2
>>| of a possible 6 Levels in what appears to be record time.  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
