Assalamu'alaikum wr. wbr.
Reading is my least favorite activities when it comes to learning English. I guess it runs in my son too. I find it hard to encourage him to read a book especially in English. One day I bought him a book series from Usborne Farmyard Tales. The books are small and full of color. The sentences are not too long and the story is suitable for kids. At first the activities are just reading aloud then I ask him to retell the story. Guess what? I didn't last long. For him it's too boring and before I knew it he already stopped reading them.
Finally I decided to make more activities from the book. I know he likes challenges so I made some exercises in form of worksheet for each story. He loves it! Crossword is his favorite activity.
It's a win win for me. I get him to read and enrich his vocabulary and he feels excited every time he does the exercise.
Here are the worksheet from the Tales "The Grumpy Goat".
