Problem:Reading is sometimes a hard skill
to teach. Students, especially
beginners, find reading difficult
and even boring, changing that
becomes a real challenge for any
ESL teacher.

Questions:What is the right approach to use?
How can I make reading interesting and meaningful for my ESL students?
What resources can I incorporate
to make reading fun and enjoyable?

In order to design a successful and memorable reading lesson we
need to start by considering the different factors that may affect
the impact that a reading selection may have.
Step 1: Before Planning

Dealing with a text in another language is not an easy task for
EFL/ESL learners, for that reason we have to help them become better
readers by developing reading proficiency through the use of
reading strategies.
Step 2: Building the Learner’s Reading Skills

“It is not enough to simply teach children to read; we have to give them something worth reading. Something that will stretch their imaginations--
something that will help them make sense of their own lives and encourage them to reach
out toward people whose lives are quite different from their
own”. Katherine Paterson
