Point to the title of the story, and read it aloud slowly. Then connect the vocabulary of the pre- reading drawing to the title. One of those environments was a class of zero-level adult learners, all native speakers of Spanish. Before beginning Unit 1, the teacher told his students—in Spanish—that they were going to hear and read a story. He told his students not to worry about understanding every word, but to try to get the gist of the story.
He said that in the course of reading the story, maybe they'd learn a couple of new words, and that would be great! Those few words in Spanish instantly changed the atmosphere in the classroom: The students went from looking apprehensive to looking relaxed.
When you do find native speakers to make the announcement, consider asking them to write it down for you so vi ntroduetion you'll be able to encourage future students in theit native languages.
Ask students to turn to the second and third pages of the unit, which are in comic-strip format. Or make transparencies of these pages and show them on the overhead projector Tell students to look at just the drawings for now, not at the words beneath the drawings.
The purpose of this first reading is to give students a global, not a word-for-word, under- standing of the story. Read the story aloud as students look at the drawings. Continue in this manner.

Give students time to read the story silently. Some students will be ready to go to the fourth page and read the story in text form. Other students will need to read the story in comic-strip format so that they can go back and forth between the words and the pictures to check their understanding, 4, Present the story in a different way.
He works at a garage. He cleans the cars. A variation of this tech- nique is to make mistakes in only some of the sentences. Gome teachers like to give each student two differently colored index cards. After hearing each sentence, students hold up the card with their answers. Students call out the number of the corresponding picture. Students scan to find the words and circle them; they can verify their work by checking with a partner. Teaching Young Students If you teach young students, you may need to use one of the four activities above instead of, not in addition to, having students read the story on their own.
They had just heard the story, and they knew how it ended. Why would they want to read it? People have used inspirational stories to teach, encourage, and inspire for a long time. The teacher, reader, or the listener can use the story as a stepping stone, or as an example to live a better life.
Some stories will make you think, and some stories might make you cry.
