ABSTRACT
This article is devoted to exploring effective activities for teaching reading to
young learners, focusing on methods that are both engaging and developmentally
appropriate. It examines how interactive, playful, and context-rich tasks can support
the development of key reading skills such as phonemic awareness, vocabulary, and
comprehension. The article also discusses the importance of motivation and learner-
centered approaches, offering practical examples that can be adapted to various
classroom settings. By combining theory with hands-on activities, it aims to equip
educators with tools to foster early literacy and a lifelong interest in reading.
