How to improve children's reading comprehension in English: the power of the Reading Corner

Fostering a love of reading at an early age is one of the most effective strategies to facilitate the acquisition of English as a second language. In the English method for children Great Little People, we know that very well. For this reason, one of our methodological pillars is the Reading Corner, a learning space designed so that each story becomes an adventure full of meaning, emotion and the active participation of children.

📚 What is the Reading Corner? Discover our reading space

It's much more than reading a story. It is an immersive experience in which the little ones have the opportunity to:

• Listen and read Stories in English carefully selected and adapted to their level of development.
• Participate actively with illustrated magnets, visual scenarios and comprehension activities.
• Work on vocabulary and linguistic structures aligned with the teaching units of the method.

Every story is brought to life through interaction. Teachers organize games where students order sequences -beginning, knot and end-, identify characters and scenarios, and express themselves emotionally... all in English!

🎯 Why does it work? From Reading to Action

Because it stimulates multiple learning channels: auditory, visual, kinesthetic and emotional. In addition, it has been scientifically proven that learning at an early age is more effective when connected to emotions and play.

When kids are moved by a story that captures them, their attention and understanding increase. And if it also does so in English, we are laying the foundations of real bilingualism.
