@KrashenStephen In other words, how many words do you think a person knows (vocabulary breadth) and how well can a person know those words (depth of vocabulary.)

Hello fellow scholars, as I was walking by the library I stumbled upon students reading books in between the halls. I find it fascinating to see a variety of books and various reading levels of reading comprehension, but does reading benefit students academically?

[DavidDQian @DavidD_Qian]

@KrashenStephen Wow! I never realized reading can allow for vocabulary and spelling improvement. However, not many people read in their alone time, yet alone for pleasure. How do those scholars have the ability to recognize words and understand its meaning?

[DavidDQian @DavidD_Qian]

Would the need of books be beneficial anymore?

Sounds like a good plan, although my books will have you all in tears! 🥲

@reid__smith @KrashenStephen @MohammadNazzem @GenePOuellette We should create a book club and recommend/trade a few of everyone’s favorite books and genres to read. 👥

@DavidD_Qian @MohammadNazzem @reid__smith @GenePOuellette Bookworms unite! Reading is lit 🔥🔥

[DavidDQian @DavidD_Qian]

@MohammadNazzem @reid__smith @GenePOuellette @KrashenStephen If anything, reading benefits in areas of working memory, vocabulary knowledge, word recognition, reading strategies, etc. The list goes on and the next thing you know, you can start developing reading as a hobby 📙🧡

[DavidDQian @DavidD_Qian]

@MohammadNazzem @reid__smith @GenePOuellette @KrashenStephen Very interesting debate! Our thread opened my eyes to pleasure reading and gaining vocabulary techniques. I definitely agree with you all. Psychological or educational, there is no harm in picking up a book and start reading.

@reid__smith @GenePOuellette @KrashenStephen @DavidD_Qian I told you all! We just need to keep reading! ✊🏼📚—>📝

@reid__smith @GenePOuellette @KrashenStephen Do you believe readers of low-skill have the same range of reading comprehension as high-skilled readers? It doesn’t matter whether students can read passages, but if they can predict & store words while decoding. This being said, a child’s depth grows over time the more you read
