I teach at the pre-literacy level with adult refugees. We can buy classroom sets of books, but the books have to stay in the room and can't be written in. Students can buy books, but many don't have the resources to do so. What have other programs done? Do you use books in your classroom? Do you look for copyable materials? Are there any favorite books at the pre-literacy level? I like Longman ESL Literacy, but since we can't write in the books and it isn't a copyable book, I can't use it. I've ended up making a lot of my own worksheets, and I use pictures from magazines and the Internet to make board games and card sets for basic foods, body parts, clothing, etc. Thanks, Christina L.
