language maintenance over the summer?

[Laura Kline]

The Zlatoust series has some adaptations of literary works at a variety of
levels, including beginning. Russia Online (http://www.russia-on-line.com/)
carries them. They are around $6 each.

Subject: [SEELANGS] language maintenance over the summer?

Dear Seelangers,

My first-year Russian students are already asking how they can  
maintain their language over the summer. I'd like to suggest  
something for them to read, but obviously they will need texts  
specially prepared for beginning students of a foreign language.

I'd like to find material with an accompanying glossary, or material  
that is extremely simple, so that students don't have to work  
intensively with their own dictionaries. Does anyone have any  
suggestions?

Thank you,

Annie
