Into Books: What if ...?

As foreign language teacher, we must to encourage to our children initiate in Reading books. That is a difficult task because they feel frustated when they start to read books. They usually don't understand the general meaning of the text and it must be one of our main goal in classroom, apart from every single word.

Anyhow, we have to foster this skill because books will arouse our pupils' imagination, the habits in reading and our children will show a positive feeling towards books.

In this Section, I would like recommend you a book for every level. This book is recommended for Intermediate level (4th and 5th grade).
