|

We built our own program and developed our own comprehensive questions, but it takes a lot of work to maintain.
I am looking at this product; http://www.renlearn.com/default.aspx. Anyone use this product before?
What have you used? What's been the best product that you have used? |

Fiveeagles,
Don't choke me out.
I used materials on various subjects, complete with Korean vocabulary and translations, as in the free Multifactor ESL English website:

Scott Foresman reading series was pretty good. I am not sure if it is still on the market though. I used it more than 5 years ago.
Remember when teaching reading, there is a lot more than just comprehension. Think about skimming and scanning activities as well. Look at character development also. Too many programs just focus on plot or basic story details, but don't limit yourself to teaching only these things. |

I've used usborne and longman/penguin graded readers and have enjoyed them. Usborne has been a little easier to find, and they have a really good selection of watered down classics. |
