49. EL#2 – Songs &
chants
These are great at the lower
levels because it is hard to find
EL materials for very young
learners, and there’s heaps of
cool content free and cheap
online (see examples here).

50. Super Simple Songs

51. ELF English

52. EL#3 – Audio from
readers
-It sounds obvious but many
kids, parents and teachers don’t
use the audio in the books.
-Shadow reading is very
effective for speaking and
listening skill development.

53. Graded Readers are best –
Listening is very hard

54. ER#4 – Online
reading/radio
-Unfortunately a lot of these
materials are not cognitively
suitable for really young kids but
for higher elementary and MS
kids they could be very effective
