I opened the door of Simon's old bedroom and looked inside.
Uh-oh. I felt worried.
There was a bed in the room, but I couldn't see it. There were too many things on top of the bed, next to the bed, in front of the bed and under the bed.

The Garage Sale
 is a short, six-chapter original fiction story about George and his family, and what happens when he decides to have a garage sale (a yard sale). It is told in simple past tense and will suit strong beginner learners (or could be used a relaxing read for post-beginner learners). The book is aimed at adult learners, and the characters are adult (aged 20 upwards), but the story is suitable for younger learners.

Like all the ESL Extras reading books, the book contains:
  • the illustrated story (which can be photocopied or shared online)
  • a page of notes for each story, for teachers or tutors 
  • exercises and answers for each story
  • a 'board' game.
There's also an extra page of activity ideas for each story.

Like the other books, this is set in Australia, but learners everywhere will be able to relate to the situations. 
(There's an 'Extra Information' page at the front with tips on any Australian situations/usage, plus what to do if you don't use A4 size paper.)

Licence: As with all the reading books, the licences are for one teacher OR one campus/one library use. Please contact me for queries about multi-campus licences. Thanks for supporting teacher-created products!

The Preview package offers sample pages you can trial with your learners, and explains the terms of use. if you decide to purchase, the eBook will be stamped with your email address in extremely tiny font at the top of the page. Please contact me on info@thebooknextdoor.com if you have any queries!

The next book to read in the ESL Extras series would be Can You Keep a Secret?

My adult EAL students love it.

The students and I like that it's a chapter narrative, which holds their interest over a number of lessons. We begin each chapter with students summarising/recounting what's come before, then move on to a jigsaw reading activity of the next chapter, followed by the printed exercises and sometimes group discussion of the main themes and ideas. I also like that it gives students the opportunity to practise all the macroskills.
