16. You beat me to it.

I used that technique when teaching first graders who were having trouble learning to read. We would print up stories where the main character had the same first name as the student. The kids got a kick out of it, and it got some of them over the hump to begin reading.

I did not normally teach first grade, but middle school. Sometimes you work where needed, especially in a small town.
