Abstract

Reading is an important skill to be acquired by an individual. By acquiring the skill, pupils will be more confident in using the language, be it spoken or written. However, this is a major challenging task for the deaf and hard of hearing pupils especially reading in English. I Am a News Reporter makes pupils read and retell the news in English using their own words. This is the best practice which has been carried out by the teacher. In this best practice, pupils read news and then present their readings. By using this method, pupils are able to read with better understanding. When they are able to read better, it enhances their confidence in reading as well as presenting. I Am a News Reporter is the best practice to stimulate reading in English among the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH). Hope that this practice is able to sustain pupils’ interest in reading English materials and hence enhancing their self-confidence.
