Different reading materials such as stories, poems, newspapers, dictionary, magazines and the likes should be available in the classroom to encourage the learners to read and to be an imaginative and creative reader. Make reading as one of the leisure or recreational activities of the children so that they will find it enjoyable and fun with their families and friends.
