Using Graded Readers in the classroom

Description:

In this episode, I discuss how to use graded readers in the language classroom. The issues to think about when choosing graded readers and how to use them include the following:

  • Age appropriateness
  • Level appropriateness
  • Scaffolding required
  • What skills you are encouraging

You can actually practice many language skills with graded reader texts, especially those which come with an audio text. Don't assume that a graded reader text is only for teaching reading. 

I mentioned also briefly the idea of sketchnotes. See a good summary here for what sketchnotes are all about.

Above all, have fun, experiment with new ways, and follow what your learners are enjoying.
