reading model or develop your own.

workbooks, exercises, tests, a bilingual version,
etc.
Allow the students to incorporate a work and study
style that is congruent with the community, even if it doesn't make
sense to you.
Give the students free reign to
experiment with illustrations.
Mimeo the text; add
linoleum-and-wood block prints of the illustrations, to
produce an inexpensive cheap package.
