A while back, Stephen Krashen, linguist and professor, wrote a fascinating book called “The Power of Reading” and then the newer edition titled “Free Voluntary Reading,” (FVR). This second book starts out with a review of literature and research that sing the praises and describe the glorious benefits of reading in class. In a nutshell, it states that students who participate in FVR, Free Voluntary Reading, do as well or better in studies on writing, writing fluency, spelling, reading speed, vocabulary, and grammar- and what’s exciting is that we find these benefits in students of all ages- and- this is of interest to world language teachers- students reap the benefits whether they are reading in the L1(First Language) or L2.(Second Language). The list of books chosen, will allow me to expand my classroom library giving students more exposure to free, interest-based reading of their choice.
