Extensive Reading in Bergamo Italy

Extensive Reading in Bergamo Italy I have been promoting extensive reading in Bergamo since the late 1980s by encouraging my students of English to read graded readers.

In 2023, I organized a full-scale Extensive Reading project at Anderson House with children and adults at our school. ERF Italy è l'associazione che vuole promuovere la lettura 'extensive' (per piacere, godimento) in lingua inglese. L'obiettivo è incoraggiare bambini, ragazzi ed adulti che stanno imparando l'inglese a leggere le cose che a loro piacciono in inglese. E' importante che la lettura si

a al livello giusto o inferiore in quanto si legge per piacere solo se si capisce il 98%. Se è superiore o troppo difficile non avrà l'impatto positivo che vuole avere. Se uno studente è un livello B1 deve leggere a questo livello o al livello A2 o A1. Per questo spingiamo la lettura dei graded readers che hanno un linguaggio graduato al livello A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 e C2. Molte case editrici hanno graded readers quali Oxford, Penguin, Cambridge, ELI, Black Cat, Helbling, Collins ELT, ecc.

Read this article on why it is harder to read books in the age of screens, monitors, emails and all that. It made want to read again and defeat the temptations of the box, the screen, the tv. Depth vs shallowness. Read in chunks is the advice which I will certainly take on. And finally WHY we must read:

Books open our minds and keep them open. They improve our communication, critical thought and intelligence. But, most importantly, novels boost our empathy. They help us to navigate the world with kindness, with compassion. Putting away screens and spending time with a classic, lingering a little on human nature, feels like a valuable pursuit, even if you have to employ a few tricks.

In less than a decade, surrounded by screens, I lost my ability to read some of the best books ever written. But, inspired by the Guardian’s 100 best novels list, I was determined to get it back

Pls read aloud to your children!

Did you know that reading can actually support children to overcome inequalities before they deepen?

That's one of the reasons we believe every child should have the chance to enjoy reading and all the benefits it brings 💙
