Understanding Extensive Reading Principles and Practices
Extensive reading involves students reading as much as possible, using appropriate materials slightly below their current level, and at a comfortable pace. Teachers play a crucial role in selecting materials, setting targets, and tracking progress, while students are encouraged to read widely and choose materials themselves. Students can read in various settings such as in class, on commute, or at home, fostering a love for reading and improving language skills.
