"A good teacher takes a hand,opens a mind and touches the heart."
"Учитель готується до хорошого уроку все життя... Така духовна і філософська основа нашої професії і технологія нашої праці: щоб дати учням іскорку знань, вчителеві треба ввібрати ціле море світла"

The most accessible method for learning languages.
Reading can improve your life in a multitude of ways. It is something most people do every day. But what if we told you that reading is one of the best ways to learn English? This is because reading supplies us with the vast majority of our vocabulary, as well as spelling, grammar, and pronunciation. This means if you read English often and with purpose, you will inevitably pick up the tools you need to speak it!
In this blog, we will explore all the ways that reading can help us learn English. It will include plenty of learning to read resources for English language learners. We will also provide easy ways to integrate this method into your life so you can understand grammar in action.
Learning English can be as simple as learning your ABCs and reading children’s books! It can also be a challenging activity, full of classic literature and best sellers. Keep reading to learn more about this simple yet effective technique – and how you can gear it to your interests today.
The Benefits of Reading for English Learners
1. Accessibility
While other methods of language learninghave been praised for their effectiveness, students keep coming back to reading. The beauty of reading is how affordable and available it is for people all around the world. You don’t need expensive classes and tutors.
You also don’t need to take a jet plane to immerse yourself in the language. This is a simple activity that can be done with free materials. The only equipment you need for stronger reading levels is time and a good book!
2. Flexibility
Reading practice can be done from anywhere. You could be sitting outside a cafe for 20 minutes, on a train, or in your home. Whatever environment works best for you is the best way to read. You are the one in charge of how and when your reading gets accomplished.
3. Autonomy
Reading gives the student valuable autonomy – they don’t need a teacher overseeing their efforts. They can start whenever they want and finish whenever they want. Thanks to a large amount of reading apps for language learners, students can even test themselves as they go. Reading has become more dynamic with the rise of online resources, making it easier to stay independent without being at an advanced level.
4. Vocabulary
The amount of vocabulary you can learn through frequent reading is immeasurable. Stories in both fiction and nonfiction are full of conversational and formal vocabulary – giving you full access to the language. You can make the most of the vocabulary by choosing varied subject matter. You can also take notes of words you’ve never heard before and research them as you go. Learning how to improve vocabulary can be simple and easy.
5. Spelling
Studies have shown that reading English makes you significantly better at spelling it yourself. This is due to the repetitive nature of writing. A student may see the same word 10 times on the same page. This exposure becomes solidified in our minds over time and gives us English language skills!
6. Grammar
Reading can give your grammar knowledge a boost! This is because reading behaves like an informal study of sentence structure and punctuation. You could supplement this with books on grammar as well for double the effect. This will help you identify what to look for while you’re reading and where you can improve your English level with grammar books.
However, grammar is one of the last things you will truly perfect as an English learner, as native English speakers themselves take years to understand it. In fact, some English native speakers continue to struggle with grammar into adulthood. It’s a skill that must be constantly re-learned and updated.
7. Authenticity
You won’t find such conversational and realistic dialogue in any textbook. This is because textbooks aim to deliver more streamlined words that aren’t based on real life. For true, authentic English, read English books that have been written by English native speakers.
8. Community
Reading is something that can be enjoyed in a group setting as well as by yourself. You can read books at the same time as friends and discuss them after. You could also join more formalized book clubs that hold you to a time limit. The beauty of reading is that everyone does it at some point in their life, and there is always a community. Thanks to the internet, you can always find people to share your experience with.
9. Interest
You can read whatever you like! Reading has infinite possibilities, whether it be simple books, popular books, advanced books, or current books. If you’re interested in cooking, there are books in every genre. If you like to exercise, you can find biographies, instructions, and fictional tales on any sport. There are millions of books in the world and there is no limit to the number of books that are available in the English language. Start by listing your interests, or things you’ve seen lately that impacted you in some way. You can then use this to curate your perfect reading list.
10. Effective
Overall, reading English to learn English is simply effective. You will be interested in what you’re learning, you’ll be picking up vital language skills, and it’s flexible. There is absolutely nothing stopping you from picking up an English book and starting your language learning journey today! Keep reading for a step-by-step guide on reading like it’s your native language!
Ми почали часто чути слова STEM-освіта, але не всі розуміють, а що це. Про те, що потрібно поєднувати науки в школі, працювати на їх практичну направленість говорять вже давно, посилаючись на тести PISA та приклади Фінляндії, де вважають, що якщо молода людина вже на виході зі школи буде володіти актуальним запасом практичних знань з урахуванням всіх сучасних комп'ютерних технологій та навичками пошуку інформації, то можна очікувати, що вона принесе користь не тільки самій собі, а й державі. Сучасні школярі – покоління, яке вже звикло отримувати інформацію насамперед візуально. Тож учителі та батьки, які прагнуть отримати найкращий результат, повинні почати використовувати нові методи навчання вже сьогодні. Спробуйте скористатися напрацюваннями американської освітньої методики STEM . STEM-освіта (абревіатура від англійських слів Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, що в перекладі означає наука, технології, інженерія та математика) – це низка чи послідовність курсів а
Нудні уроки не любить ніхто. Навчання й так нелегка справа, а коли тема учню нецікава, він не може зосередитись на завданні й постійно відволікається, то користі від такого заняття не буде жодної. А от в інтерактивних та захоплюючих уроків переваг безліч. Погляньте самі! Створення емоційних зв’язків Взаємодія з учителем та іншими учнями відіграє важливу роль у навчанні. Обговорення спільних тем та активна участь у навчальних іграх сприяє залученню учня у контекст та кращому засвоєнню інформації. Краще усвідомлення Інтерактивні елементи стимулюють глибше мислення в учнів, ніж пасивне навчання. Таким чином ви активно залучаєте їх до процесу. Доступність Кожен учень має різні вимоги до навчання. За допомогою інтерактивних засобів одна і та сама інформація може бути представлена у різних форматах, що дозволяє задовольнити будь-які потреби у вивченні матеріалу. Більш дієвий результат Коли учень бере активну участь у процесі навчання, він стає більш зацікавленим та швидше набуває нових нав
Scaffolding Strategies 1. Teach mini-lessons Break down new concepts into bite-sized pieces that build on one another. Teaching a series of mini-lessons provides students with a safety net that moves them progressively toward deeper understanding. Learn more: Essentials of a Mini-Lesson 2. Use explicit instruction One of the best practices in supporting learners is the use of systematic, explicit instruction. That is, instruction that includes clear modeling, think-alouds, and multiple examples, which are described in greater detail below. In addition, immediate corrective feedback is critical. Catching students’ errors while they’re still practicing will prevent them from learning the skill incorrectly and then continuing to practice it incorrectly for homework and on other assignments.
