This is Linda J. writing, but I’m quoting the expert: “I think it would be helpful to focus on building a vocabulary of everyday words for those things your student is most likely to encounter on a daily basis, such as fork, plate, pen, car, plant, dog, etc. Have you tried using the Oxford Picture Dictionary to build language skills? Before moving to a workbook or worksheets, I would also recommend working with sight word and picture flash cards to improve his overall speaking and listening vocabulary, as well as build sight vocabulary.
