i am extremely passionate about how well this works As well as facilitating acquisition and learning of vocabulary, it is believed to increase motivation through positive affective benefits. Proponents such as Krashen (1989) claim that reading alone will increase encounters with unknown words, bringing learning opportunities by inferencing. The learners encounters with unknown words in specific contexts will allow the learner to infer and thus learn those words meaning. The idea behind extensive reading is that a lot of reading of interesting material that is slightly below, at, or barely above the full comprehension level of the reader will foster improved language skills. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensive_reading
