Motivating children to listen, read, and enjoy

Many teachers today find young learners reluctant to read in any language. How can we therefore motivate children preparing them at very early stages (six to eight) to listen, read, and enjoy stories in English? During the session we will focus on how to choose the story and demonstrate what to do with it. In the presentation, selection of material from English books for children will be presented, with suggestions for how they can be used in ELT classroom.
