Flashcards!

I am starting to put together tutoring kits for my students based on their needs. I am starting with flashcards. One student I have in mind needs practice with reading fluently and I am certain that using flashcards to practice with the Dolch Sight Word Flashcards will do the trick!
I have printed off 3 sets of flashcards and plan to glue them on to index cards. We´ll practice for at least 10 minutes each session with the flash cards and then´ll do some read alouds (with stories that contain the sight words).

Welcome!

Welcome!
I am a teacher in Mexico City and am very interested in all aspects of teaching. This blog will be a way to give ideas for teaching English, professional development ideas for teachers of English, and insights into educational issues in Mexico and abroad.

I hold a Masters Degree in Education (with a specialty in teaching ESL) and currently teach at a private school in Mexico City. I also give private English classes as needed. If you´re interested, sign up for some classes!
