This research aims to study the development of reading skills by using fairy tales and short stories using the KWL-Plus theory in teaching Mathayom 2 students. The data analysis was done by finding the frequency of the data and analyzing it, describing it in an essay, and including a table. The difference in mean scores was compared, standard deviations were found, discriminant power was found, and test difficulty was found. E1/E2 efficiency was found between the first and last tests of the sample group, and the skill-training scores were compared with the post-test scores. The data analysis was done by finding the frequency of the data and analyzing it, describing it in an essay, and including a table.

The results of the research found that the pre-test and post-test scores of the 40 sample groups who studied using teaching materials and board games had an average of ( = 10.98, standard deviation (S.D.) = 2.66, and (= 24.2, standard deviation (S.D.) = 1.91). The results of the data analysis Students' satisfaction with the teaching and learning activities in developing English listening skills using the gesture response (TPR) teaching method combined with activities of Mathayom 2/1 students had a total mean score (= 4.41 and standard deviation (S.D.) = 0.45, which was at the highest level. When considering, it was found that students had the 3 highest levels of satisfaction as follows: the number of English vocabulary was appropriate, giving students an opportunity to ask questions, and English short stories made students have more knowledge.
