Alright, I have a hyper-specific question. Just got a new gig at a public school after-school program starting around February and the recruiters have asked me to come up with some ideas for the class. I've mostly taught middle school kids, so I'm wondering about what textbooks are the best for kids grades 1-6, with English proficiencies of low to high. If you've taught any/all of these grades before and can recommend some of the better books you've used, I'd greatly appreciate it. Sadly, I don't know whether they will be doing phonics, listening, speaking, reading, writing, etc., so all recommendations from any of those areas are welcome!
Here, I'll provide a handy format so you can copy/paste and write your answers to any/all parts of my question:
1st Grade -
Low Level:
High Level:
2nd Grade -
Low Level:
High Level:
3rd Grade -
Low Level:
High Level:
4th Grade -
Low Level:
High Level:
5th Grade -
Low Level:
High Level:
6th Grade -
Low Level:
High Level:
Also, does anyone have any advice for teaching English Math to elementary? The recruiter hinted that this may be a possible option next year, too. I'm terrible at math, but if it really came down to it, I could probably teach it to elementary level kids!
Thanks in advance, folks![/list]
