Digiclub Meeting, April 17, 2021

The idea behind extensive reading is that a lot of reading of interesting material that is slightly below, at, or barely above the full comprehension level of the reader will foster improved language skills.

The material should be varied in subject matter and character.

Students choose their own reading material and are not compelled to finish uninteresting materials.

Reading material is normally for pleasure, information or general understanding

Reading is its own reward with few or no follow-up exercises after reading

Reading is individual and silent

Reading speed is usually faster when students read materials they can easily understand.<
