Getting students to read more.
|

Hi, one of my ambitions this year is to try and get my students to read more and to learn more from what they read. That �s why I will keep creating new reading games and writing more stories for beginner readers, but once my students have two feet on the ladder to successful reading, I �m sometimes at a loss and it is at this stage where Rob Waring can help out.
What are you going to do this year in the area of reading?
Rob Waring �s Extensive Reading Website
Invaluable information and advice on extensive reading from a leading expert and pioneer in the field. The page is helpful both for the specialist and for a teacher/school setting up an extensive reading program for the first time.
You can also see Rob �s �Language Teaching Professionals � page at <http://ltprofessionals.com/en/resources/Rob_Waring.html> which has information on his readers.

apart from obvious follow up activities, such as:
� Comprehension questions
� Ordering activities
� Gap-fill activities
� True/false activities
� Multiple choice activities
� Matching activities
I would also recommend:
rephrasing / writing sentences of opposite meaning
sentence making - matching
make a theatre play or radio drama
write a summary
write a letter to the main character / diary of the main character
crafts - drawing, making finger puppets, drawing a cover/poster...
