PresentERs (July): A short talk about extensive reading from one of our members

Sunday, July 31, 2022 - 7:00pm

PresentERs:

A short talk about Extensive Reading from one of our members or from the wider ER community on Sunday 31 July 19:00-19:30 (followed by our LoungERs social event 'til late).

This month's PresentER is Heather Dixon, who is the co-founder, writer and editor of the I Talk You Talk Press graded reader series (https://italkyoutalk.com/). There is an extensive selection of titles in the series, some of which have been winners or finalists of the prestigious ERF Language Learner Literature Award. Heather will talk about her experience creating the series.

Join the event on Zoom (https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86937792669) and RSVP at

We want to hear from a wide variety of people in the ER community about how they do extensive reading, so we would like to invite anyone interested in talking about a reading program at their school.

The event will involve a short 10-15 minute casual talk from our PresentER (maybe you!), followed by around 15-20 minutes of questions/discussion. You could talk about your library, how you use graded readers, you or your students' favorite books, how much your students read, your own extensive reading in another language, or anything extensive reading related.

We would love to hear from people working in different contexts (language schools, eikaiwa, public schools, private schools, kindergartens, libraries, universities...) so we can learn from each other.

If you are interested in sharing something about how you do extensive reading at a PresentERs meeting in the coming months, please complete this Google Form.
