Reading

I attended this conference and was so blown away. I learned so many great resources to help my students practice their reading and writing. The speakers were fabulous and so knowledgeable. While I was at the conference I signed up for epals. I'm looking forward to finding partners!

Thanks Epals!

Welcome to ePals!

Hi,
I am pleased to see your participation in ePals and I hope your students would join soon. My students are aged between 18 and 20.But their English still sound like baby English.So it doesn't matter at all if your students are younger.We look forward to meeting you all.
Best luck!
