Description: The topic of this research is “The use of supplementary materials for teaching children in EFL Classes”, its purpose was to find out whether or not English teachers use supplementary materials, and if they do, how pertinent, appropriate and qualified those materials are. This work was developed in a public elementary school in the city of Cuenca, Ecuador. The methods used for this study were qualitative and quantitative to observe ten classes in 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. The instruments used were charts, direct observation forms, and questionnaires. The results obtained from the analysis showed that the supplementary material mostly used by teachers was the whiteboard. Visual and audio materials were used sometimes; realia was almost never used, audiovisual and online materials were not used at all because the school does not have those implements. The main conclusion reached is that supplementary materials have a big influence on EFL learning. Thus, the teachers have to choose the correct supplementary materials according to students’ learning styles and set off strategies to improve the teaching-learning process.
