A practical guide to building extensive reading into English-language programs

Richard R. Day presents extensive reading as a classroom approach grounded in reading for pleasure. The book connects research on its role in English-language learning with guidance on ways teachers can incorporate it into existing programs. Five case studies extend the discussion beyond theory, showing how extensive-reading projects have been used across different learning environments. At 120 pages, it is a focused professional resource for considering both the rationale for extensive reading and the practical choices involved in putting it into practice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • English-language teachers developing reading-for-pleasure programs
  • Educators seeking research-informed approaches to extensive reading
  • Teachers interested in examples from varied learning environments
