Which do you prefer- reading fluently in your own language, or reading English while using a dictionary to look up unknown words? Obviously the first. But what if you could read English books with something like the ease that you do in your own language? Well, you can- and you can do it today.
Extensive reading is the reading of a large amount of easy books over a long period of time- for example, reading books where you understand 98% of the words, for 30 minutes per day every day for one year. Because you will see so many of the same words many times, you will greatly reinforce your knowledge of these words.
The key is to choose interesting books that are at a comfortable level for you. To do that, you can take a level test and then read books at or below that level. Oxford University publishes a collection of books corresponding to the levels in the test: the Oxford Bookworms Library, which consists of hundreds of fiction and non-fiction books. (Scroll down to find levels Starter to 6 on the bottom left).
Or just go to Amazon and find OBW leveled books for Kindle.
