ESL COURSEWARE / WEBSITE

Finally for Task 4, I managed to create a website on reading skills. This website helps students to improve their reading skills on identifying main ideas, identifying details, making inferences, and understanding meaning from context. This website is beneficial for students as it provides four tutorials on reading skills as well as exercises for students to check on their understanding.
This website is prepared using Wix.com as well as Hot Potatoes.

Here is the website: Reading Knack!

The following are some screen shots of the website:
