If your ELLs love practicing pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary with Lise, we think they'll enjoy working on their conversational skills too. The first video in our NEW speaking practice series, Conversation Phrases, is now live. This video lesson focuses on reduced pronunciation to use in everyday greetings. Have a conversation with Lise! 

We forgot to dust again! In this latest Word Bank Reader, students read about a teenage boy who helps his mom around the house. This reading lesson reviews the vocabulary from our Word Bank lesson on household chores.
