Extensive Reading (ER) is booming – growing in popularity – nowhere more so than in East Asia. This is great news for our students. It means they are getting the benefits that research shows accompanies ER:  increased motivation, improvement in listening, speaking,  ocabulary as well as reading, improved test scores, etc. It also means that they are engaging in one of the few ways of studying that gives pleasure as you do it.

Just like we tell our students:  Read.  Enjoy.
