The Wonder Ears

How to make my students love reading? That is a big challenge! The first problem is, my students have limited vocabulary and the second, it is not easy to find a reading passage which is quite easy but inspirational and encouraging at the same time. I came across this article many years ago, but I still notice the same results today: my students are very excited reading this article, they smile and nod their heads. After the reading session, we usually have a discussion, followed by group activities such as telling each other their weaknesses. It ends up with motivational closing 'something that you might think as bad, maybe not that bad after all'. Enjoy reading!
