Welcome to the CBET Exchange!!

This is a place to share ideas and information on the 

Community Based English Tutoring (CBET) program in LAUSD. 

This month: See our side bar for a great number of easy reader

black line books for June.

As summer brings longer days, parents may need help enforcing rules with kids.

With that in mind, we offer our Lesson/Activities for the Month, "Time for Bed" shared by the San Diego Community College District.  Click:  http://sdce.edu/about/faculty-staff-resources/esl-resources/cbet-lessons.htm
