HLS Book Club

Introducing HLS Book Club! We value reading, at all ages of life. Reading opens up new worlds of adventure, knowledge, happiness and English competency. 

In HLS Book Club, children will have the opportunity to spend quite time reading books, share their books with others, search their books for new words and to learn about characters, and bring their books to life with directed artwork. They will finish the lesson with a quick speech on what they learned.

Welcome to HLS Book Club. Let the reading begin!

Reading Comprehension

Yes, reading is very good for you. I used to read a lot of books, but now I find myself reading blogs a lot more often. I'd love to get back to the books ;)

This week in our English classes we are conducting a reading comprehension exercise for our students.

I am very particular about creating my own syllabus, from grammar exercises to spelling tests, essays to creative writing topics, and speaking questions to reading articles.

I wrote all of our short stories myself, one set for primary children, and a higher level set for secondary and adults. For the questions, I have formulated some comprehension questions about the story mixed with grammar questions, creative thinking requirements, word games related to the story, and various other things.

It keeps them busy and actively engaged in the very good habit of reading! This week's reading articles are about relationships and a magic badminton racquet . . .

Until next time . . . happy reading!
