Can anyone recommend a good textbook (with a link) for an after school program? I guess I'm concentrating on speaking and listening... reading and writing don't hurt either. Maybe a textbook for each, since I can kill more time that way??

My classes are ten students, grades 3, 4, 5, and 6 (separate class for each).

Thanks for any help.

I like to use the Cambridge Copy Collection and there is wide variety of books that you can use to improve young learner's ability with English. Have a look at the following books to purchase:

Primary Activity Box by Caroline Nixon and Michael Tomlinson
Beginner to Intermediate


Primary Communication Box by Caroline Nixon and Michael Tomlinson
Beginner to Intermediate


Primary Grammar Box by Caroline Nixon and Michael Tomlinson
Beginner to Intermediate


Primary Pronunciation Box by Caroline Nixon and Michael Tomlinson
Beginner to Intermediate


Primary Reading Box by Caroline Nixon and Michael Tomlinson
Beginner to Intermediate


Primary Vocabulary Box by Caroline Nixon and Michael Tomlinson
Beginner to Intermediate


I have used the books and they were very popular with kids. You can make games and laminate them for later. Soon you will have all the kids chatting in English. Finally, kids are stimulated very easily and loose interest very quickly try to use a variety of games and activities to keep their interest. I suggest drawing the alphabet letters for the lower learners and let them stick them on the wall. You can also use wordsearch puzzles and songs where they fill in the gap for more advanced younger learners.

Kids are great but you need to know what you are doing and if you know what to do then the kids will respect and look up to you. If you have any other questions, please ask.

How do you laminate things if your school has no laminator?

You can buy laminators on-line. I have two, which were purchased on-line. If you do buy one on-line, you may be able to get a discount, too. Try homeshopping. cheers.
