Teaching Reading To Young Learners

CLASS 2A


1. In my opinion, the most challenging activity to teach Reading to young learners before 5 years old is when the children feel bored.  As the teacher, we must be creative teacher that has many methods for making the children comfortable to learn English.  On the other hand, the children not only feel bored but also maybe they will not follow the activity again because they don't like monotone activity.  The most important thing is not about to make the children clever in reading but to make the children like reading.  Some literature also shows that there is no guarantee that someone who can first read will be more successful in the future than those who are late like Albert Einstein, George S. Patton, William Butler Yeats are those who are late reading.  So, we must be good teachers that have the creativity to make the children like reading.

2. I choose teaching reading to young learners with playing games.

What you need
A dictionary
Paper cards
A pen

Guess The Word

 This game requires larger participation from our end, but it directly helps the child comprehend complex questions easily.

 How To Play

 Either use a dictionary directly or write various words on flashcards and put them all in a bucket. Let your child pick out a word and tell you the number of letters in it. You now end up asking him questions that can be answered either in a “yes” or a “no”. Ask questions such as “does the word have vowels” or “is it an animal” so that your child also has some thinking to do at his end, before he answers your question.
