Follow along as your teacher reads the story.
Benito is an ESL student at Lakeshore Adult Education Center. He is in a beginning level class.
Every morning, Benito’s teacher reads a page of vocabulary words from the picture dictionary. After the teacher reads the words, the students look at the pictures and copy the words into their notebooks. When everyone is finished, they practice reading the words with a partner. Finally, the teacher selects a student to stand in front of the class and read the words aloud.
Benito is nervous. He doesn’t want the teacher to select him to read aloud in class. He is shy, and he doesn’t speak English very well.
What should Benito do if the teacher asks him to read in front of* the class? What should he say?
Now read the story with your partner.
