Stories and readers can be effectively used in language classrooms. They provide an engaging introduction to the target language in context. Stories motivate learners and exercise their imagination. Listening to stories builds confidence and encourages social and emotional development as it is a shared experience. Teachers can use stories to introduce and revise vocabulary, develop listening skills, and reinforce language structures. Stories also help develop conceptual skills like prediction and guessing meaning. Readers support the broader school curriculum by reinforcing conceptual development, thinking strategies, and study skills. When choosing readers, teachers should consider factors like age, language level, interests, and difficulty.
