The Simply Speaking book was created by NYS-MEP ID&R, and Recruiters give it to newly censused OSY students in their welcome bags. The book contains 18 basic ENL lessons tailored for everyday life in New York and an answer key. Extension worksheets compliment the book's use with OSY students. The worksheets cover each of the seven most commonly used topics.
