Using This Story

​

​

  • These stories were created as open educational resources to use with adult English language learners who have limited-literacy skills.
  • We encourage using the stories first without words, to introduce and develop students’ oral language before showing them the text.
  • Comic Sans font is used in the stories because it closely resembles handwriting.
  • The story is meant to be a resource, not a stand-alone curriculum.
  • The Yes/No and Wh- question slides are not meant to be shown to the students.
