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!!!!
