READING FOR CHILDREN!

HELLO EVERYBODY!

Last week, I read an article in the magazine "English Teaching Professional" about how choose a book for children? How can I teach to read?

First of all, we must create motivation for reading. Moreover, we must choose a book specifically for children learning english as a foreing language.

You have to consider some things:

- Don´t choose BIG BOOK, because our children are small.
- Do you want readers have EXTRAS like that, videos or tapes?
- Genre is very important, fiction or non-fiction.
- Do you want a book ILLUSTRATIONS for your children with pictures or black and white?
- Finally, It`s very important the LANGUAGE. The language could be simple or complex.


In the second phase, I write about different reading activities:

1. CLASS READING
One option is that the learners in the class are reading the same book but in different time.
Other option is that whole class are reading the same book together.

2. GROUP READING
One way of reading books is that the children are reading different books. They choose their books but you can adapt it for them.

In my opinion, we have to motivate to our learners for reading but we have to adapt their books.


SEE YOU SOON
