The document provides an overview of extensive reading techniques that can be used with Korean young learners. It discusses key principles of extensive reading including choosing easy and interesting books for students to read independently. Specific techniques covered include using graded readers, sight words, phonics instruction, read alouds, guided reading, shared reading and assessment through quizzes and tracking vocabulary and comprehension. The goal of extensive reading with young Korean learners is to help them develop lifelong reading habits through repeated exposure to language in a low-anxiety context.

64. (i) Phonics & Sight Words. Alphabet Short Vowel Long Vowel Double Consonants Double Letter Vowels. NOTE: BE SYSTEMATIC WITH THESE. (ii) Sight Words 200-300 common words * They make up 75% of all words that appear in children’s stories. (iii) Fluency is important so repeated reading and repeated practice is needed.

91. (iv) Guided Reading Strategies Students are in small groups, teacher helps one group while other groups read silently or do other activities (ii) Give vocabulary & comprehension support but don’t translate everything (iii) Teacher helps bring the books alive by acting them out or pretending to be a character, or by doing funny voice

92. How to Manage Guided Reading Class of 30 Students: Option 1 Guided Reading with Teacher: 6 students (Ss) Silent Reading 6 Ss Silent Reading 6 Ss Silent Reading 6 Ss Silent Reading 6 Ss

94. (v) Shared Reading Strategies Pair weaker and stronger students together . Stronger students read first, weaker student reads along, then reads themselves. (ii) Train higher level students how to help lower level students, train lower level students how to follow. Two win! (iii) Choose the books yourself , or have “responsible” higher level Ss do it.

95. Shared Reading Begins First Solo Read Aloud by Sally (7) Young Readers Level 1 (with Alex)

96. (vi) Independent Reading Strategies This is where ER really takes off. Make sure you have a wide selection of books. (ii) Students should choose there own books based on the main ER principles – easy & interesting to them! (iii) Set goals for how many books students should read and share the challenge of reading many books.

97. Independent Reading Strategies

98. Independent Reading Strategies Predicting the story Reading for overall ‘gist’ (understanding) Be careful with dictionary use Guessing or skipping words Choosing books correctly (vi) Re-reading to understand (vii) Reading ahead to understand (viii) Retelling the story (ix) Evaluating the story in some way

99. (vii) Vocabulary Instruction Many words are learnt naturally through repetition in a variety of contexts , so NOT every word needs to be taught by teacher. (ii) Use word lists and word cards. It’s very simple- English on one side & Korean on the other. This is the most efficient way. (iii) Sight words 1 st (200-300), then work on first 1000 words, then 2000.

100. Vocabulary Instruction Need: Paper with words Coating machine Ring and punch Ss Practice turning over cards & memo- rise translation on the back of card.

105. (viii) Assessment If you do assess, then it’s more important to track progress of your students’ vocabulary, fluency & comprehension. Don’t ask for translation!

106. (viii) Assessment Make assessment fun… by using online or offline computer based quizzes.
