This is a worksheet I designed for students to do a self-study in the library. (It was during a class when I had to meet with students one-on-one for a tutorial, and the rest of the class needed a self-study activity to keep them busy).
Extensive Reading Worksheet
Step 1: Choosing an Easy Book
The graded reader books are ranked by level. (Level 1, level 2, level 3, et cetera). You should choose a level that is easy for you. DON’T choose a difficult book. You will benefit most from a book that is easy for you to read.
You should be able to understand 95%-98% of the vocabulary.
Follow the “5 Finger Rule”. Read the first page. Every time you find a word you don’t know, count it on your fingers. If you get to 5 fingers, stop--this book is too difficult for you. Go down to a lower level.
Step 2: Choosing an Interesting Book
You will get the maximum benefit if the book is interesting for you.
Read the title of the book. Look at the pictures. Read the description of the book on the back page. Does it look interesting? If yes, keep reading. If no, put it back and choose another book.
Once you find a book that looks interesting, go ahead and read the first 10 pages. Then stop, and ask yourself, “Is this story interesting for me? Do I want to continue?” If you like the book, keep reading it. If not, put the book back on the shelves, and find another book.
Step 3: Once you have chosen a book, and once you have finished reading the book, complete the following form
