SIMPLE ACTIVITIES TO TEACH WRITING AND READING IN ENGLISH
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article addresses simple, practical, and enjoyable exercises that support English language learners in developing their reading and writing skills. It highlights how the motivation and retention of students can greatly be improved through interactive, low-cost approaches based on progressive and communicative language learning theories. Picture labeling, group reading, sentence building with word cards, and mini-books are some of the strategies piloted in the classroom that are used in the research. The study emphasizes the cognitive, emotional, and social benefits of these approaches to learners. Learner-centered interaction, contextual salience, and design simplicity can significantly influence early English literacy development, according to the findings.
