That really didn't help them much since their reading skills were far below their sixth grade level. As for you students, I'm not so sure about finding books in Chinese or Hebrew (That is what the child from Israel speaks, isn't it?) Lisa T. Hi Lisa, Yes, my Israeli student speaks Hebrew. I speak very little and even less Mandarin. Now, I realize how much I help my Hispanic students because I encourage them to speak English, but I can talk to them in Spanish and repeat in English. They have the opportunity to catch on a lot sooner. And, you are right about a lot of the students I get, they are less than proficient in their native language, which carries over to ours. I am curious to see what my Chinese student knows. I have a bit of a handle on the level of my Israeli student. Thanks for the suggestions. :) *\l/**\l/**\l/*Lynn*\l/**\l/**\l/* M.Ed.
