Lesson 6A: Reading In English

The goal of this lesson, apart from its grammar and lexical objectives, is to encourage Sts to begin reading, as this is a great way to consolidate and expand their knowledge of English. Sts are advised to read “Graded readers” (easy-to- read books that have been simplified according to level). Sts first look at three Starter Level Bookworm Readers, and object pronouns (me, you, him, etc.) are presented through the plot summaries. Sts then look at three sounds (/ai/, /i/, and h!) in Pronunciation. In the second part of the lesson, Sts read and listen to two extracts from Sally's Phone, where they get more practice with pronouns and focus on reading skills. Finally, in Communication they talk about their general reading habits.
