ESL ESL NEWS ESL students need to read and write in English over the summer. This will help them to maintain the level of English they have gained during the school year. It does not matter what type of reading students do, as long as they are reading for at least 20 minutes or more each day.
Students can read newspapers, magazines, comics, etc.
Reading the same book several times can also be helpful to maintaining reading skills. Parents are encouraged to read to their younger children. Older ESL students could read to their younger brothers and sisters. Reading in a native language is just as important as reading in English. It is useful for young listeners to learn how language works.
