My first thoughts are to try on-line English language periodicals designed for new readers, and useful for new language learners: The Key http://www.keynews.org/ and Learning Edge http://thewclc.ca/edge/ Not available as an on-line document is "News for You" another periodical designed for the new reader that is published by New Readers Press http://www.news-for-you.com/teachers/index.html ******************************************************************* Please List Your Job Openings with FEGS at (212)366-8039 If You Are interested in Making a Donation to FEGS to Help Us Continue To Provide Essential Crisis Support Services, please contact Gail Magaliff, COO at (212)366-8551 or send an e-email to gmagaliff@fegs.org PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT www.fegs.org ************************NOTE************************************** The information contained in this email message is intended only for use of the addressee(s) named above.
