LESSON PREVIEW
ABOUT THIS LESSON
About This Beginner The Decline of Reading ESL Lesson
People still read every day, but much of that reading now happens in short bursts on phones and screens. Long books and quiet reading have to compete with messages, videos and constant notifications.
This A1–A2 lesson uses accessible English to explore changing reading habits, why long reading can feel difficult and whether books still matter in a screen-filled world.
Students compare different kinds of reading, discuss when and why they read and defend choices about how schools and individuals can encourage more reading.
