This short session presents strategies to help teachers in using graded readers for language and cultural development. The session focuses on how classic readers such as Little Women by Louisa May Alcott and the Sherlock Holmes detective stories by Arthur Conan Doyle become engaging resources and stimulating starting points for projects with elementary and pre-intermediate level school students. We will focus on reading strategies, giving some vocabulary development tips and cross-curricular projects based on two exciting titles. We will also see how online and offline learning resources offered by Helbling Languages can be integrated within reading projects.
