Day 5 Donate Books or Money to Buy Books
This one is a little tricky due
to weight restrictions when flying and the price of shipping. However, I want
to throw this out there as well. When teaching children, the beginning readers
from back home are perfect. You know, the ones that have less than 50, 100, 200
words, etc… Or that focus on a letter sound or ending. They are often funny at
a child’s level of humor, and with a little explaining/translating my students
can understand the humor. I have a book basket at my house that they are free
to look through when they come over, and I often take books when I teach
Saturday morning tutoring, and when they fit in with my lessons. If you have
some of these books lying around that you no longer use, or are a teacher that
has extra book order points to use maybe you could think of my students. If you
have books to donate, please let me know so that I don’t “accept” too many that
I can’t bring them all back in my suitcase. I love reading, and want to instill
this love in the students here.
If you don’t have any books and are going out to buy them, a better option might be to make a donation and let me buy them here. There are several bookstores in Bangkok where you can get easy readers that have been imported, and then we wouldn’t have to worry about packing space, or shipping costs. There are also some chapter books that have the more difficult words written in Thai on the side, which hopefully the students will be able to read in the future and I would love to get some available now.
