This article explores the way in which reading can be brought to life in the English lessons starting from the roles of the teacher in intensive reading and going on with examples of activities through which we can bring reading to life. The roles of the teacher in intensive reading are: organiser of reading sessions, observer of the students` reading, feedback organiser and encourager. In primary school, reading can be brought to life by using toy animals when starting a reading activity and by expressing through words and gestures what we read. Both these techniques will be exemplified in this article. Of course, there are also other ways of vitalizing reading at all levels of study, which will be explored in future studies.
