TEACHING READING FOR YOUNG LEARNERS IN EFL CONTEXT

Abstract

All young children are eager to learn a language. Millions of EFL children are learning reading as part of their English education, and thousands of EFL teachers are looking for the most effective approach to teaching reading. This paper is concerned with determining the most effective method of teaching reading to young learners in an EFL context. The content of children's literature can pique students' interest in learning a new language. Good, effective, and appropriate approaches are for assisting students in their development. There is, however, no single best approach to teaching reading because what works for one child may not work at all for another. Good teachers must recognize that children learn in a variety of ways and require a variety of strategies. Teachers must draw on ideas from a variety of approaches while also adding ideas from their own experience. As a result, the parent's or teacher's role in promoting reading progress is critical. Finally, there are three critical points for children's reading success: an innovative and appropriate approach, effective material, and the role of parents or teachers. All three of these components are necessary for teaching all children to read.
