Relaxing Reading Time

It's great to see kids read so quietly and behaving themselves. :) Today is a good day :)

I'm actually enjoying what I'm doing these day, not that I didn't enjoy teaching but this type of teaching is what I've been really aiming to do. I started off as a curriculum researcher and a developer for this academy last December and ended up teaching it this March.



So what am I doing these days?

kids love the pool area

Well, I'm teaching but also taking care of a library: we're a English library academy, where kids come and read and talk about what they've read.

We have Group Mentoring (GM) classes for lower levels and Book Club (BC) classes for upper levels: GMs are more comprehension bases and BCs are more discussion based.





Rather than reading all the classics we're concentrating on more contemporary works so that the kids become more interested in reading and learn through them. I truly believe that you learn a lot through reading and I've personally experienced it when I was learning English.

We have  two section of the library and one is for BC and the other for GM. I still need to make the book organizing more easier and efficient for kids to find but besides that I think we have a pretty good thing going on.
