 Introduction

English as a commonly used language requires speakers to be equipped with listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, among which reading is an efficient way to learn English. The emphasis on reading can definitely help improve other three skills, making sure that junior students develop their language abilities comprehensively.

As a Chinese saying goes, morning hours is the best time of a day to work. During my training period in Baochuta Experimental School, where students usually have English morning reading two to three times a week, I noticed that students often feel less motivated and easily distract when reading English words and texts. There is no doubt that morning reading plays an important part in students’ study. Therefore, it makes me wonder how we should make the best use of morning reading to improve their interest in English. 利用英语早读提高学生的英语兴趣:http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_48648.html
