Abstract

As a teacher in an English institute for elementary school students, I see that reading could be one of the best ways to consistently have students exposed to good quality English input. Especially interesting authentic storybooks have powers that motivate students to be immersed in reading. So I carefully selected 10 famous authentic storybooks of children that won a variety of awards abroad. If those are taught in classrooms, it could be more inspiring and motivating than boring clichéd books. The readers won awards from Caldecott to Newberry honor or medals. Target learners are EFL elementary school students in the 3th-6th grade at the level of mid-intermediate according to ACTFL
