Previous Research Findings
Creating an efficient classroom library is one of the most motivating tools for encouraging literacy in the early years. Perez (2015) reports in her research 'Tales And English Classroom Library, Resources To Develop Literacy Skills in Early Years' that the stories have been an essential support in linking the content of the units and promoting children's literature in a foreign language . . Bennington (2016) reports in her research “Designing and Curating a Classroom Library for Lifelong Readers” that the design of the classroom library should be a social space for children.

Asril (2011) claims that learning achievement is the result of a process in the form of grades for evaluation, such as the report book. Readers use their existing background knowledge to make predictions about what comes next in the text and about how a new, unknown piece of information relates to what is already known.
Reading aloud is a very important tool that cannot be ignored in achieving the goal, because it is a great help in developing our habits of practicing, reading aloud. Critical reading is the evaluation of written material, comparing the ideas discovered in the material to known standards and drawing conclusions about their accuracy, appropriateness, and timeliness.
