Hello everyone,
This week, I am posting some reading and writing resources that I have found on the web related to ESL.
The first one is perfect for my teaching context. It is a group of selected readings, designed for intermediate students, from Oxford Press and come with quizzes on the readings so teachers can check for comprehension or students can check the answers for themselves.

In one of my reading classes in the past, I would start every Friday morning off with reading something from the Daily Texan. This was good practice. I have found online that there is a newspaper for new readers available online called, the Key.
Here is something I found called 100 free short stories for ESL learners:

I also really like this site from Voice of America. They are Broadcasts and scripts written in clear, simple English.

For writing, I found another ESL blog that learners can read and write on called:
Ron’s ESL blog
It’s main focus is writing and grammar for ESL students.
This site for writing is a good site for all things writing and grammar related in ESL:
As always, please share with me your favorite links and let me know how you liked these. Thank You!
