Extensive Reading: a look at its effects on long term reading habits

Saturday, May 20th, 2006, 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: Richard Lemmer

Numerous studies have attributed positive affective results, improved reading fluency, vocabulary acquisition and additional learner gains to extensive reading (ER). Much ER research has involved intact classes and short term gains. This study compares the reading habits of junior college English department graduates who participated in an ER program for four semesters with those who did not.
