I had the first session of my first private lesson yesterday, a 2nd year middle school girl, and the cousin of my girlfriend.

Her mother wants me to work on reading comprehension and writing, so I brought over a book - Goosebumps, if anyone remembers those - and the level was about right for her. But her mother wants me to find something like that which also has an audio CD that she can listen to on her own. Does anyone know of anything like this?

I'd also like to give her some English TV shows - I can burn DVDs on my computer. Regional settings on their DVD player might not allow it though. Does anyone have any experience with downloading and burning TV shows for their students? I was thinking something like SpongeBob.

Can't help with your first question.

In regards to your DVD burner in your computer- region coding is a software issue NOT a hardware one.

MOST (perhaps ALL?) DVD compilation / burning software is now region free.

Liverpool,

I am really proud of this story page I put together. She will find lots of stories at the appropriate level , all with audio.
http://eflclassroom.ning.com/page/page/show?id=826870%3APage%3A14773

I'd also suggest the leveled readers you can view on that page. All have worksheets, just click the link there. Also, find the same stories here but with accompanying quizzes http://eflclassroom.ning.com/Wpage/page/show?id=826870%3APage%3A65385

Also on EFL Classroom, in our Resource / Share area or in our Mediafire Leveled reading folder, find hundreds of stories. We also have a growing section of audio books/readers....Happy hunting.
