        “IN PLAIN ENGLISH?” ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING IN THE U.S.

        May 3, 2017
        Leave a comment
        The US is a country of many languages. In public schools, about 10 percent (4.5 million) of all kids are English Language Learners (ELLs).

The point is that reading is fun…” This is a quote from a recent article in British newspaper The Guardian by Charlie Higson, author of a variety of YA fiction including the Young James Bond series.

        Nowadays many libraries and bookstores are delighting their patrons with storytimes. Children love the magic of a good book that is brought to life through the skills of a good presenter. It is an opportunity for children to travel to new places that have never been explored and to experience adventures that have never been undertaken.
