I type these up into a booklet,use them for reading.... make spelling words for the class out of their misspelled words. I also use a poem by Langston Hughes. I think it is called "My dream." It has fairly easy words in it. I ask what is the wall that keeps them from their dream. I usually spend about a month on this lesson and it elicits lots of speech, reading, writing and spelling. and everyone can work on their own level. I use language experience for those who have little English and type that up (after the few in the class copy it) with all their names on it. they love seeing their writings in print and will usually read what they wrote to the class. I can type you the poem if you want. It is short.
