Course Description

This is the third course in a series on using graded readers in the classroom. As we saw in the first course in this series ‘Getting started with Extensive Reading’, each student can choose their own book or you may choose to have a graded reader that the whole class reads together. In both cases, it’s important to use while-reading activities. This course will provide reasons for why this is important, and also provide you with some practical activities you can use with your students.
