Bringing Extensive Reading into the Classroom

Into the classroom is an exciting new series of short, practical guides for teachers of school-age learners. Each book provides a quick, handy way to understand new developments and apply them in your classroom.

Bringing extensive reading into the classroom is the ideal companion for teachers who would like to add the substantial benefits of extensive reading to their langauge programmes. It explains the research that shows how reading for pleasure helps learners to improve their English, and guides teachers through the different approaches they can use, focusing on:

*the importance of extensive free reading

*how extensive reading materials are developed and how to choose the right graded readers for the class

*introducing and exploiting class readers

*developing class libraries

*setting up and running reading circles

On addition, four extensive reading case studies describe projects in a range of learning environments.
