What other techniques would you offer? I teach high school and I still use the silly poems of Lansky and Prelutsky. Most often, my students recognize all the words, which is what I want (if my ESOL kids do not recognize a word, they can hear it and practice the next round). This is not the time to expect them to use decoding skills. We read it together as a class (from the board) then I challenge them to read it faster a second time, third time, etc. They have a blast because the poems are fun and easy. I started the year off with "Homework, Oh Homework" and they loved it!!!! _http://www.angelfire.com/oh/brokaw/homework.html_ (http://www.angelfire.com/oh/brokaw/homework.html) *\l/**\l/**\l/*Lynn*\l/**\l/**\l/* M.Ed.
