Answer 2

Sounds like a good project. I am starting to teach English as a Second Language, so I have thought about this a little. :-)

You may want to focus on one or more themes. Consider the kinds of people that will be learning - would they be kids, teenagers, adults, or the elderdy? Would they be native speakers or immigrants? Might they have interests in common (e.g., sports, church, etc.)? If you are doing something really like a dictionary, you'd put the words in order; but often a book to teach somebody to speak or read would be progressive. For example, the ESL class I'm teaching starts with basic everyday "survival" language, body parts, then objects around them in the world (land, ocean, animals, day/night/stars/sun/etc.) This is a church class, so we also talk about ways to relate all these things to God, Christ, sin, etc.

Let us know how your project turns out!

Answer 3

If I was going to teach someone to read, I would start with basic steps. For example:
Step1: Pictures. Have person look at picture books, and talk about the pictures.

Step2: Add small, simple words to the pictures; like the word dog placed under a picture of a dog.

Step3: Use same word over and over. Like; the dog,the cat, the hat, until it is recognized easily. Maybe use rhyming words. You know, like cat, hat bat, sat..... just do everything in steps, and keep it simple. Kinda like a recipe.

Good luck on your project.

Answer 4

A book that teaches someone how to read? Isn't that kind of like a DVD that shows someone how to set up their DVD player?

Ok, anyway, maybe you could put pictures of things with their names written nearby. For example, a picture of a cat with "cat" written next to it. Then a picture of a bat with "bat" next to it. Then maybe a car with "car", and a bar with "bar". That would separate the individual letters for someone. They could theorietically come up with that symbol "c" sounding like the first part of the words "cat" and "car" and that symbol "b" is the one in "bat", and so on.

That's assuming the person using the book can speak. If they can't speak... hmmm. I'm pretty sure they'd need a tutor.

Answer 5

Pictures!

Answer 6

a pronunciation key....like with short and long vowel symbols, etc; the part of speech it's used as, blend sounds like th, str, etc.; sound chart w/ letters and pics like A is for apple
