Hello everyone, I am writing this as a member of the academy group of the BBC Channel. I had introduced you to two good books in the last two blogs, the two videos, actually. This is me again. This time, I will talk about a book called "My teacher glows in the dark written by Bruce Coville. The cover of the book looks like the one above.

Let's listen to comments of readers about this book


This video may not be comments but it is a revision of the book. You can watch it to get the idea of the summary of the book.

About the author: Bruce Coville

After his first book, he started writing many good series and books.
About the book:

You will totally be hook into reading about these astonishing characters running in an exciting conflict and leads to a trouble-full ending. This book is very good, you will feel bad if you put the book down because your brain makes you to keep on reading and reading until you find out what happens to this character or that character. This book is a book worth for you to spend your times reading. Bruce Coville had written this book using easy English, therefore, this book can be suitable for beginner readers. For the beginners, it will help you develop your vocabulary tank, your grammar knowledge and a lot of other things. I bet that you will have a good time. So, why don't you go over to Ms. Stacia, check out the book or the first book of it in the series "My teacher is an Alien" and start sticking your eyes to it. You will certainly be dazzled by it.

Recommendations before, while, and after you read:
To make the book more interesting to read, I have some small but helpful recommendations for you. Before you read, you should predict what and who you will meet. You should also read the summary at the back of the book. If you want, you can go online and search on Google as this book to see how people think about it. While you read the book, I recommend you use the reading strategies, especially the visualizing, connecting and questioning strategy. All these strategies contribute into making the book fascinating, I promise. As you use the Visualizing strategy, it is somehow, pretty much like watching a movie. Pictures of what is going on in the book will appear in your head if you are using the strategy properly. Creating connections between the characters and yourself, another text or the world would also make it more exciting as you realize the similarities and differences. The questioning strategy contributes to the excitement of the book by creating suspense while you are reading. After you read, you should now sit back and answers the questions you had pose while you are reading. You should also recall your predictions before reading the book and see if they match with the contents in the book.

Have a great time reading it!
