I remember my first-year-teaching having a girl in my 10th grade
class, pretty saucy troublemaker. Her grades were very weak, but she
seemed a bright girl. I was lucky to have her for a private tutorial.
She told me how she hated English and threw her boyfriend out when he
brought over English tapes (she only liked Mizrachi music). I taught
her the rules for phonics in English. I know English is not a phonetic
language, but there are basic rules. Once she grasped this - it was an
awakening - she could read! I understand this is the method used for
teaching dyslectics.
Re: the copula in the present (am, is, are) - I call it the equal
sign. In the progressive there's a Hebrew rhyme: ing blee: was, were,
am, is are - lo shaveh shoom davar.
