access to download andprint out
materials for student use. These are some things the teacher can do to make the
reading experience more productive for students and these resources can increase
student practice time with English outside the class. About writing skills here
are some elements that can helpas a teacher to teach their writing through web pages,

Hello Wendy,let me tell you that I am agree with you in the fact that teachers have to be careful when chosing the materials from internet, since we need to know our students level of the language and their necesities because students can not been presented with a text which contained unknown vocabulary because they will not be able to understand very well and also will create in students frustration. Moreover, one important thing that was presented in the article was, the finger method that its been used when developing a reading lesson and students need to rice their hand and count with the finguers the words that they do not know and if the number of unknown words are more than five the text needs to be changed by an easy one.
