A three-year-old boy falls 18 feet into a gorilla cage and is saved by a mother —
a mother gorilla, that is!
A waitress finds a lottery ticket for a tip, instead of cash, And she wins six
million dollars!
Fourteen very low-level stories of high-level interest—humorous, poignant, astound-
ing—and all true! Selected from newspapers and magazines, and adapted for the
beginning student, the stories are told as simply as possible—exclusively in the
present tense.
* First, students see a series of captioned pictures so the meaning is clear.
+ Then, students read the story in text form for real reading practice.
* Finally, students do exercises following each story to develop very basic:
reading skills as well as build pronunciation, spelling, and vocabulary proficiency.
VERY EASY TRUE STORIES is an ideal first text for students with
little or no experience with English.
