Have you heard kids say  I do! I do!  when you finish reading a story and you ask  " Is there anybody who wants to read  ?  Yes, children enjoy reading  and acting stories out. They are all " little readers" and " little artists" who enjoy " reading time " and  " acting time " .They have a great advantage, I think. They like doing things, to be considered, to have a sense of belonging,  and  they want to participate, even though they  may not be the best readers or the best actors or actresses, they just want to participate... They have an inner motivation that we, teachers , feed with the activities we propose in class, our attitude towards teaching and our sense of caring. They are in the right moment, the right age and the right place to acquire the language in the best possible way, to identify the sounds of the foreign language and differentiate them from the sounds in their own language , to utter words with a good and understandable accent, to start recognizing words, reading them silently and aloud and to start writing the words they have already learned.  As time passes, they are not going to be only isolated words, but phrases, sentences and paragraphs As children,"  they play, learn and grow together." After all, they are the center of the class and we are the effective guides who help them attain their learning goals.
