I decided to experiment with alternative ways to display information about readers at A1-A2 level from Oxford Reading Club. My original way was using Word:
Oxford Dominoes - Level 1 (A1-A2)
Oxford Bookworms – Level 1 (A1-A2)
But after seeing someone else using Padlet to display information about readers I simply copied and pasted the information into a couple of Padlets
Oxford Dominoes - Level 1 (A1-A2)
Oxford Bookworms – Level 1 (A1-A2)
Access to a Google drive folder with all the work I've done on Extensive Reading is here:
It includes genre catalogues for all levels of Dominoes and Bookworms on Oxford Reading Club and a few PowerPoints I have used for talks on Extensive Reading in the past.
A Playlist of my videos on Extensive Reading on YouTube is here:
I recorded myself
rehearsing for my talk at #IATEFL2024 in Brighton but realized afterwards that
I had skipped a slide that I needed to include as it was about how ER improves
even speaking. this is what it said:
Why do Extensive
Reading? "When EFL students read extensively, they become fluent readers.
But there is more. Studies have established that EFL students increase their
vocabulary and become better writers. We also know that reading extensively
helps increase oral fluency—listening and speaking abilities. Finally,
students who read a lot develop positive attitudes toward reading and increased
motivation to study English. So, there are some excellent reasons for having
EFL students reading extensively."

extensive reading into the classroom, OUP 2012)
