2- how can i design a forum for reading passages?
3- how can i teach vocabulary through reading text?

Answer
Dear Fatemah,

I'm sorry, but this sounds more like a homework question for teachers in training than a question for me to answer.  It's far too involved for me to consider at this time.  If you give me a bit of YOUR background and the age level you are talking about - I will consider answering one of these questions.  But, as it stands right now, the questions are far too broad with no information to help me narrow things down.

Expertise

I can answer questions about reading at all levels, English as a Second Language, elementary math, science and social studies as well as general education matters. Individuals interested in teaching in international schools can contact me for information on how to begin the process of looking for jobs overseas.

Experience

I have been teaching for 30 years with a MEd in Reading and Language Arts, a BA in Elementary Education. For 6 years I taught computer to grades K-8. I have taught in combined grades (K-2 and 2-3 splits)in the US and overseas. The bulk of my elementary experience is in second and third grades, although I've taught K, 1, 2, 3 and 5 as a self-contained experience. Twenty-two years of my experience teaching has been in international schools in Africa and Asia.
