Outside Reading Assignments

A. Prose Reading

In addition to using materials from the text, constantly encourage your students to read outside class. Bring booklists of your favorites and find out students' interests so that you can suggest books or magazines for each person. Articles from outside can be useful for extra skimming practice as well as further vocabulary development.

B. Non-prose Reading

Non-prose readings such as ads, diagrams, maps, charts, and so on pose their own challenges. This type of reading material is an important part of Interactions Access Reading/Writing and can easily be supplemented by bringing in materials from outside the class.
