Reading

In the application of the reading lesson the teacher can, and should, prepare questions similar to the following:

1. (What language do the Mexicans speak?)

2. (What is their official language?)

3. (What language do they learn in the schools?)

4. (What language do they read?)

5. (Do they speak Spanish exactly like the Spaniards?)

6. (What language do North Americans speak?)

7. (What language do they speak in England?)

8. (Do North Americans speak exactly like the British?)

9. (What other languages are spoken in the United States?)

10. (What other languages do they speak on the continent of North America?)

11. (What languages do they speak in Canada?)

12. (What language do the Chileans speak? The Bolivians? The Colombians? The Guatemalans? The Brazilians? Etc.)

13. (Is there a lack of communication?)

14. (Are there regions in the United States where there are no schools?)

(At this point, the personalization of content is very difficult because, with this book the students do not know the first- and second-person verb forms. Questions such as "Does your family . . . ," and "Do your friends . . . could be included, but they have not had the possessives either. However, these forms are introduced later on, and from that point personalization is much easier.)
