Simple English

Posted at 7:51 am under listening, reading, social studies

I’ve had links on my website to the Voice of America’s Special English News and another site called Simple English News for quite awhile.

Now, an article in The Columbus Dispatch gives some interesting background to how the vocabulary used in these simple English versions have been developed.  I found it interesting.

I heard about the article through the NCTE In Box.
