Reading is a powerful part of English learning which develops students` thinking skills, expands and systemizes their vocabulary. If we look at this process from another angle it turns out that it can be pretty boring for students.

I think that you heard such phrases like: “Reading….again?”, “Reading….ohh…..can we do some other activities?” Being a very effective method of teaching, it makes students passive parts of the lesson. Let`s think about some actions which can help us to activate this process.

Think about the process of reading. Can we do it more active?

•  Cut the part of the text into pieces and your students will do it with more interest.
•  Let the students do two tasks simultaneously (read and fill in the table with the information from the text at the same time)

Think about the content of reading. Can we do it more interesting?

•  Interest with topic (unusual facts, different opinions)
•  Suggest thought-provoking content

Reading activities can motivate students when a teacher uses his or her ideas in the process of organization of it. Look at your reading passage you are going to read next lesson. Would you like to read it if you were a student? If not – think about some actions which can improve the situation!
