Carly And Kumar: Level 3

Description

Carly And Kumar: Level 3 – Intermediate/Level 3

Meet Carly and Kumar – Two ‘twenty-something’ students working part-time and trying to get through life’s little problems with a smile.

Choose Level 1, 2 or 3 (elementary, pre-intermediate, or intermediate). Then read these stories to find out:

• What happens when Kumar goes shopping with his girlfriend.
• About the surprise visitor in Carly’s bathroom.
• Why Kumar has a hard time buying apples at the supermarket.
• And more..

You’ll smile, you’ll laugh and you’ll want to keep reading about the lovely but sometimes thoughtless Carly and her handsome and ever-patient ‘friend’, Kumar.

These short stories can be used to introduce an extensive reading approach to encourage reading for pleasure. An extensive reading approach could include the following:

• 30 minutes/week sustained silent reading, each student reading at their own level, pace and a story/stories of their own choice
• reading a story aloud to students
• shadowed reading by teacher or higher level student with a lower level student
• practising and performing plays within a class or for other classes
• pair work/group/class discussion about the illustrations and questions
• modelling how to read for meaning
• rereading stories or reading the same story at a different level
• outside of class reading
