The Extensive Reading approach to language acquisition advocates the reading of a large volume of material that is easier than the learner's language level, rapidly with little dictionary use, of material of the learner's own choice. Through this massive amount of reading the student can internalize the grammar and vocabulary that has already been studied. See the Extensive Reading Foundation and ER-Central for further information on this approach to language learning.
This site offers support to those who have installed the Moodle "Reader" plug-in on their own school's Moodle.
