FVR HACKS:

FVR with Audiobooks: A blog post about using the audiobooks along with the text.

How to create and print your own glossary: Have a great book that doesn’t include a reader. Make a book more comprehensible for your students by giving them a glossary of necessary vocabulary.

Making Children’s Books more comprehensible: You might not need a full glossary, so here’s an easy way to create a one-page glossary for texts.

A list of language learner books for level 1 with unique word counts and total words. Levels are arbitrarily separated by my own perceived level of difficulty, but you can make a copy of this google doc and edit it to include the books you have available in your FVR library. New Updated version with a cleaner look.
