Various TEFL Reading Activities

Before students even get chance to open the TEFL book it is important to spark interest in the story and in the whole process of reading.

Let students know that you have chosen a book for them to read which you like yourself

and you believe they will enjoy too.

Some activities can be: Guess the story from the cover – show the cover to the class and

elicit as much vocabulary as you can. Students then guess the story and write short summaries of the imaginary plot. These could

be kept until you have read the book to see which one was closest to the real story.

Photocopy the pictures – If the reader has picture or photos, enlarge these and use them

to familiarise the students with the main characters. Students can read the

introduction page or the back of the book to guess who is who.

Changing the ending – In groups students re-write the ending of the book. If it is a happy

ending, make it sad and vice versa!.
