Surprisingly, special days and celebretions can be a good source to use authentic material with our students. A few days ago we celebrated WORLD BOOK DAY. This day is an important day for literature and for recalling traditional tales, so why don´t we use this special celebration for our purpose?

With the message for all children: 'YOU ARE A READER' ! , we started our activity. This is the title of the activity too.

Children choose a book from a basket and start reading it in silence (we select the books previously according to the age and level of English). In this case easy books for seven year olds as they are in Year 2 of Primary.

After the reading they choose SIX WORDS they find interesting from the book and write them on a chart. With these words the high level students try to write the story and a new one. The low level students try to write a sentence with each word. In both levels, students make a drawing of their story(high level) or group of words as a picture dictionary(low level)

This is an adaptation of the activity shown in the course SIX WORDS.

After that , we can create an art corner with all the stories and picture dictionaries!!

and we can make some bookmarks for future readings!!

This activity can be adapted to any level . Hope you like it!!
