Summary: Excellent tool for ESL student verbal practice/fun.
Comment: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! This book works beautifully with secondary and adult English language learners. The preview activities introduce the characters, concepts, and vocabulary using Anticipation Charts and other second-language teaching techniques. Students are also required to discuss their opinion with others. Also included are easy to teach "How to Read a Play" and "Stage Directions" pages. The characters and some phrases are geared toward Spanish-speaking English language learners but work equally well in multilingual classes since a "Spanish Glossary" of the expressions is included. The "Review" section provides perfectly appropriate and fun follow-up activities. Students really enjoy producing their own play, and the classic story has been rewritten specifically so that ESL students can relate to it. A high level of enthusiasm and participation is evident.

Summary: Great for teaching reading! Even in special education!
Comment: We used this book and "The Cowboy and the Wildcat," as supplementary reading texts for Middle School Special Education Literature and they were EXCELLENT! I highly recommend them and hope the authors produce more.

Summary: Used in ESL class. Delightfully creative play.
Comment: Fun remake of the Tom Sawyer whitewashing story. This play is for ESL instructors and students who want to do an energetic project. The Wall will encourage and lead students towards their goals without intimidation. A rich sampling of the english language is masterfully woven into a wonderful new tale, yet is simple enough to delight students of all abilities.
