Why use Reading Paths with your Secondary ELT students?

By designing Reading Paths for your students to follow, you ensure that they:

• enjoy reading in English for its own sake;

• make connections between course content and the Readers recommended to them;

• understand that reading in English is part of a process that reaches forward into Upper-Secondary and back into Primary Education;

• find memorable meaning by linking books from different thematic areas;

• find wider, deeper meaning in their reading;

• reinforce their lexical knowledge of English by seeing the same words, themes and ideas in different contexts;

• enrich their structured knowledge of culture in English.

A Reading Path is like destinations marked on a map showing the journey that students should follow.
