Reading Corner Overview
The English Reading Corner is a special space where students enjoy learning English through picture books and storytelling activities. During reading sessions, students listen to stories, look at colorful illustrations, and take part in simple question-and-answer activities. This corner is mainly used for picture book reading and storytelling, helping students develop listening skills, build vocabulary, and grow a love for English in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.
