Abstract

Reading is one of the most important components of language learning. It is also the most essential skill for students in order to perform effectively in different subject areas in school. However, young children can develop an interest in reading only if they have access to interesting, meaningful and age-appropriate books. Appropriate use of children's literature by the teachers can work wonders as it promotes active and engaged reading. In the present paper, I will discuss the criteria for selecting children's literature for early readers as well as the strategies for teaching how to read with the help of this literature
