DURING
- FIRST READING: Read slowly through the book, stopping at full stops, pausing at commas and raising your voice at question marks.
- Ask questions at different points in the book.
- SECOND READING: Read the book again and invite learners to read with you at certain sections (especially the key words or phrases). Encourage and praise the learners.
AFTER
