This document discusses different materials and resources that can be used for English language teaching reading, including textbooks, visual aids, and the board. Textbooks provide structure, guidance for teachers, and autonomy for learners. They include a variety of texts and activities. Visual aids like real objects can highlight vocabulary and prompt oral and written interactions by making meaning more direct. The board is a classroom fixture that teachers have always used to assist lessons. It allows working with minimal resources and engaging students in the writing process.
