Extensive reading has never been easier and more comfortable
by Alexandra Chistyakova
What is extensive reading?
Extensive reading is • reading as much as possible, • with pleasure, • and at the appropriate level of
difficulty.
When reading a book, we mainly focus on the meaning.
Learners are reluctant to read books because:
• Learners’ vocabulary and grammar are insufficient
• Checking up unknown words in a dictionary takes too much time
• They almost never revise the new words from the book
• Some learners dislike graded readers
