On-line Readers for teens
|

Hi, everyone!!!! I need your help. I teach to a group of teens (a very small group of 3 students, 2 �lazy � boys and a really sweet girl) and they hate reading books...We have a really interesting library at our school but whenever I ask them to pick a book to read... they start complaining!!!! I know teens hate books so I thought about making them read something on-line. They �re intermediate level and I want to encourage them to read in English!!!! Do you know any sites they can read online and then do something in class...questions, discussions or any activity to check whether they �re reading the story or not.... it should be something short.... any ideas??? Thank you a lot in advance!!! Regards!!! |

Hi, I�ve got no ideas regarding this, but , you can try using "talking books" in class if they do not like reading. May be this is not a good example, but you can try searching on youtube for "talking books". Once they finish reading you can try having them retell the story on board "Once upon a time, there was a little____ (and you can draw a princess) who lived in an old ______ (and you draw a casttle) etc. They find this quite easy. Good luck.
