This study aimed to investigate how the EFL elementary teachers utilized an English Internet resource to compose students’ English early reading abilities and collate their perspectives toward implementing this website in their teaching. This study employed purposive sampling to select three EFL elementary in-service teachers as participants and conducted hour long personal interviews with each participant to gain a more in-depth understanding of this issue. The data collected were the transcripts of the three personal interviews and thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The results indicated that the participants utilized this website in four approaches to meet their students’ learning needs. These four approaches included (1) as an English passport for 1st and 2nd graders, (2) as the main teaching materials of an English club, (3) as supplementary materials, (4) and as English remedial materials. They affirmed the fact that this website contained systematic contents, as well as diversified and interactive learning materials; some designs on the website were found to require further development. Based on the findings, pedagogical implications were discussed to improve English teaching with the aid of Internet resources and further studies were proposed.
