Extensive Reading

Extensive reading involves students reading large quantities of easy reading material for pleasure and comprehension rather than focusing on every word. The benefits include becoming a fluent reader, improving performance and vocabulary, and enhancing motivation. Students should read easy texts they can understand well to build reading speed and comfort. Extensive reading can incorporate tasks like book clubs, reviews, and visualizing texts. Overcoming obstacles may require bringing books to class or online reading. Reading circles, where students discuss books in groups, can provide social and educational benefits.
