Set goals with her.  Break down bigger goals into smaller achievements, and give appropriate praise along the way.  For example, the goal might be to have some really nice art to frame and hang in her bedroom in time for Spring cleaning/room makeover.  I would use your state's Visual Arts Standards of Learning for high school students, and lead her in projects and learning based on her ability.

Work with a professional to help her develop language skills.  No matter how good your intentions, you can't do it on your own.\n\nBeyond that, try to find non-verbal means of expression like drawing or painting.  Kids with language delays can become frustrated when they have something to say but can't say it.  Be creative and try to tell stories with her through painting, clay, or anything else she enjoys.  She's not going to be like everyone else, at least in the early years, so don't expect her to be.  Try to find things she enjoys and develop these as much as possible.\n\nI also think depending on the severity of the delays it might be, as the first poster suggested, a good idea to teach her sign language (and of course learn it yourself, too).  Most kids will speech delays catch up eventually, but sign language may provide a way for her to express herself in the interim.

Just show what the country looks like (maybe print out a blank map for the kids to color), show what the flag is (have them color that, too), tell them what language they speak (if it's Spanish or something, teach them a few Spanish words), what kind of food they eat (bring in something for them to try), and teach them about the people (what it's like to live there). Show them books and stuff like that. Maybe even try to find a way to find a preschool teacher in Argentina that will be willing to have his or her class and your class do a pen pal thing. Just google school age penpals or something.

How about using some great art-related picture books, like the Last Resort, by J. Patrick Lewis, or Action Jackson, by Jan Greenberg?  What exactly do you mean by teaching reading, anyhow?

have a pyjama day, the kids pay a pound to come in dressed in their pj's, it will be fun for them and you will raise a fair bit of money!!  \n\nalso do you know anyone that can do face painting that could come in and do a few hours of that, kids love having their faces painted.\n\nfor the older classes you could get them to do a sponsored silence. this is one the teachers will love :-)\n\nyou could organise a bake sale during break time chocolate rice crispy cakes are cheap to make and kids love them.\n\nall of these can be done on the same day. it could be the start of an annual fun day so that you are guaranteed to have funds for next years party too.\n\n\n\n\n\ngood luck

As a former teacher trainer in Asia,\n\nGotta set up a routine for you lesson. Let's say you have young ones, start with a song/chant, and then into your "grammar/language" lesson (the crappy books they give you to follow). Seatwork (appropriate for the level). Then end it off with a story. You can ask simple questions for the story, "Find something red. What page was the boy eating the ice cream?" Always good to add a few language games into your lesson. One simple game is for two students with swatters to hit the correct vocab card. Plain, but better than repeating the words. You can make up a whole bunch of language games. Try bingo, but with pics of vocab. Play Simon Says.\n\nI find when I was teachign ESL, my greatest problem and my teachers' greatest problem was the lack of resources. Here is a site: http://www.readinga-z.com/\n\nBuy a $50 yearly member ship and download the books. Get your school to pay for you. This will provide you with 100s of reading activities for ALL levels!

Enroll him in a Marial Arts Class for kids.  My three year old nephew is in it and he can't stop talking about it.  If you feel he's too young for that, enroll him in some other from of class like mommy and me or something along that line.

Keep them occupied..drawing or coloring is good,make believe is another good one;like pretending they are authors and have them write stories about certain things they like;board games are okay long as they are easy and fast playing;Have them play school with each other;Play card games;if all else fails put kid videos on!

The website below is interactive.  Also, check with your local head start.  They may be able to provide training.  Definitely, get started as soon as you can.  You may even be able to find some elementary schools that will work with your children.

How you arrange your room is very important.  The environment can be another teacher.  children can learn from the set-up.  They can learn indepedence by the way things are set up-they can get their own toys and art supplies out.  \n\nIf you put your circle time area in the same area as a lot of toys this can be a distraction to the children.  \n\nJust look at things from their level and trial and error will work well for you

There is a lot you can do with 2 year olds in art for example:\n\n* using finger paints-there are friendly child paints available everywhere.\n*dried peas, pasta, beans-using these a child can make a picture and with your help stick it on paper, card etc using glue-also child friendly glue is available everywhere.\n*corn flour is also very good when added with water it thickens-using a large container add coloured paint and the children love 2 play with it like sand or water and when adding glue it is possible 2 create a picture.\n*coloured sand 2 create a picture\n*glueing and sticking materials 2 create art work\n*drawing with crayons and pencils\n\nThe possibilities are endless and it also helps 2 promote their creative development.\n\nThere are many websites where you can find ideas.\n\nHope some of my ideas are use full 2 you...\nHave fun.

Here are a few ideas-----get some glue bottles and mix them with black paint---then have the kids use the paint/glue mixture to draw ocean animals and islands and such.  LET DRY.  Then have the kids paint with watercolor the animals.-- the outlines of the glue hold in the water paint so its like a coloring book with the paint they made.\n\nOther ideas are you can get a 50lb bag of silica sand---found at Menard's, home depot, or Lowes, this normally runs about $4 a bag---lots of sand---then take ziplock bags and food coloring and actually die the sand with food coloring---have the students use white glue bottles to make a picture with the glue and then add the colored sand ---repeat with more glue and different colored sand---kids love the different colored sand and gives it the beach or island look---\n\nHope these ideas help

My teacher had a great way of doing this. Tell your students to collect various household items and a few bags. Make sure each kid picks out two specific objects. When everyone returns, teach union and intersect using the kids' "sets".
