Hi teacher Khalid! mena22 is totally right... However if u can read any type of literature work, i can recommend you Lord of The Flies of William Golding (novel), The Crucible of Arthur Miller (drama), Animal Farm of George Orwell (novel) or Mansfield Park of Jane Austen (novel)...
If u r interested in poetry, u can read Robert Frost, Ted Hughes, W. Shakespeare, Frank O �Connor (devil, maggot and son), Thomas Hardy, Emily Dickinson and so on...
Hope those suggestions will be a help of u....

For 10 - 14 year olds I can highly recommend Paul Jennings. He has a huge series of short stories that are funny and extremely well written. Children of this age absolutely love having them read to them - and reading them.
For students who are 8 - 11 I highly recommend Charlotte �s web, any single roald dahl book.
For students who are from 9 - 14 I highly recommend CS Lewis.
I don �t see any point in giving books to esl students - that native english students - GROAN OVER!
For poems who can go past Ken NEsbitt! he is hilarious - the kids love him - he is great for 8 - 12 year olds - just search on the net.
Hope this helps
Oh - if it is for the teachers personal enjoyment...... I love science fiction myself so probably aren �t much help for mainstreamers.
Good luck

are you talking about reading for your students in te classroom or extensive reading for yourself as a teacher ?
it differs I think ..
you are arabi right ?
EFL teachers or ESL teachers should keep reading stuff too
it �s like a practice to the language.
so what are you talking about here ? |
