READING AND WRITING
Reading stories such as simplified and authentic ones in reading classes is one of the most
enjoyable activities. This activity is mostly implemented by teachers, then learners. When
teachers read stories aloud, the learner can learn how to read the story.
Some traditional fairy tales that they are familiar with such as Little Red Riding Hood can be
read to motivate them to read (top-down processing). Since learners have familiarity with the
themes of such stories, they can comprehend the story easily. Therefore, they are good
resources for teaching reading to young learners.
