14 Mr Willy Wonka - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Mr Wonka was standing all alone just inside the open gates of the factory. And what an extraordinary little man he was! He had a black top hat on his head. He wore a tail coat made of a beautiful plum-coloured velvet. His trousers were bottle green. His gloves were pearly grey. And in one hand he carried a fine gold-topped walking cane. Covering his chin, there was a small, neat, pointed black beard – a goatee. And oh, how clever he looked! Suddenly, he did a funny little skipping dance in the snow, and he spread his arms wide, and he smiled at the five children who were clustered near the gates, and he called out, 'Welcome, my little friends! His voice was high and flutey. The big fat boy stepped up. 'Augustus!' Mr Wonka was clearly just as excited as everybody else. 'My dear Veruca! The next two children, Violet Beauregarde and Mike Teavee, came forward to have their tickets examined and then to have their arms practically pumped off their shoulders by the energetic Mr Wonka. 'Charlie!'

Welcome to Vocab Express English Grammar Online - free exercises, explanations, vocabulary, dictionary and teaching materials 40+ Best Books for Boys Ages 8-14 40+ of the absolute BEST books for boys in their pre-tween, tween and teenage years. Let me start by saying that my now-teenage boys are not avid bookworms. They’re decent readers, but my sons don’t just hunker down with a book whenever they’re bored. They’d just rather be doing something rather than reading – like throwing a baseball or watching hockey game. My boys, however, always loved it when I read to them, and I did, every night, from the time they were babies until they were far too old for bedtime stories. I won’t tell you how old. They’d never forgive me. Want to know a secret though? Boy Reading/Shutterstock As much as I adored reading to them when they were toddlers and little boys, for me, it got better and better as they got older! We would dive into these great chapter books, and tackle trilogies and series’, and just get lost in them for an hour or more every night. It took us the better part of a year to get through the Lemony Snicket series. Big Nate Diary Of A Wimpy Kid

Extensive reading: why it is good for our students… and for us. What is Extensive Reading (ER)?Extensive Reading is often referred to but it is worth checking on what it actually involves. Richard Day has provided a list of key characteristics of ER (Day 2002). This is complemented by Philip Prowse (2002). Students read a lot and read often.There is a wide variety of text types and topics to choose from.The texts are not just interesting: they are engaging/ compelling.Students choose what to read.Reading purposes focus on: pleasure, information and general understanding.Reading is its own reward.There are no tests, no exercises, no questions and no dictionaries.Materials are within the language competence of the students.Reading is individual, and silent.Speed is faster, not deliberate and slow.The teacher explains the goals and procedures clearly, then monitors and guides the students.The teacher is a role model…a reader, who participates along with the students. The model is very much like that for L1 reading proposed by Atwell (2006). References.
