By Sandra Heyer

* Have you heard the one about the girl who was run over by a train and lived -- unharmed -- to tell about it? * Or the cancer patient who needed money for medical costs? She tried to sell her lamb at a farm auction -- and came back home with her lamb and $16,000! * Or the two elderly piano players who make music together -- one can only use her left hand and the other can only use her right hand? These stories and more -- humorous, poignant, astounding -- and all true! More True Stories, Second Edition, by Sandra Heyer, consists of 22 readings based on human-interest stories adapted from newspapers and magazines -- including new, updated, and improved material. The universal appeal of these stories ensures a pleasurable reading experience and motivates students toward reading fluency. Vocabulary, reading skills, discussion, and writing exercises have been refined and improved based on classroom experiences with the highly successful first edition.

I use this for my adult ESL students as they go beyond the need for lots of accompanying pictures to help them understand the stories. The version is well-placed and, as usual, most of the stories are quite fun. The amount of student work is appropriate for the level.

Excellent resource

By Thriftbooks.com User, May 20, 2007

This is one more of an excellent series of true stories written for ESL learners. The stories are presented in separate chapters with a photograph of the subjects of the story and then exercises following the story which test specific and general comprehension. I use this for students who have a good grasp of past tense and who have begun learning the present and past perfect tenses, although those are used lightly and...

Great resource!

I use Heyer's True Stories series with my high school ELD classes. The stories are varied levels (this one is suitable for early intermediate students), and very high interest. I don't use them as primary texts, but to supplement our curriculum. They can be used for reading comprehension, class discussion, and writing topics.
