The Tohoku University Extensive Reading Manual
I am so thrilled to finally have this on my desk.
This is a 136-page bilingual handbook describing the extensive reading program at Tohoku University. It includes a detailed description of the curriculum, examples of handouts and other materials, and guides to adapting the program to other contexts.
For a limited time, free copies are available. Please leave a comment with your name and work address if you would be interested in receiving one. Alternatively, see me (Ben Shearon) at the JALT Pan-SIG Conference in Nagoya (May), the 2nd Extensive Reading World Congress in Seoul (September), or the JALT National Conference 2013 in Kobe (October) to get a copy.
That would be great Ben! If it isn’t too much trouble please send me a copy to:
Michael Blodgett
Kansai University Hokuyo Junior High School
1-3-26 Kamishinjo, Higashiyodogawa-ku, Osaka-shi,
Osaka 533-0006
It would be nice to have something to show other teachers at the school who are less familiar with extensive reading.
Ben,
If the copies are still available, I’d be interested in having a copy. My work address is:
Bill Snyder

Hello, Ben,
This is Yukiko Watanabe from Fukuoka. Is it still within the limited time to get a free copy? I’d love to read it very much.
Bilingual? Wow!
My young students are starting to like BBL0 and 1A very much since they can now read with good rhythm and they are starting to read more.
Yuki
Thank you,Ben. I actually have some high school students and a college student working for TOEIC tests and so on.
I think reading is very important and effective way to learn languages. I found reading a lot of articles and books to teach students helped improve my English too.
I’m now trying to read books and articles on reading and the extensive reading a lot so that I’ll have as many reasons as possible to convince my studnts and parents.

Hi Ben, are there copies still available?
[…] the first semester I’ll be continuing with the extensive reading classes according to the ER@TU system, as well as trialing the latest version of Dan E’s discussion curriculum. We’re hoping […]
Hello Ben,
I won’t be able to get to Seoul or even Kobe, but I am quite interested in learning more about your extensive learning program.
