IMPORTANT!!!! Read the bit below before subscribing, please.

This group discusses issues related to an Extensive Reading approach to reading particularly in second and foreign languages.

This group is now a target for spam attacks so if you wish to join please send TWO emails. One to the normal subscribe address ExtensiveReading-subscribe@yahoogroups.com and another to waring_robert @ yahoo.com (the moderator's address) explaining your reasons for joining. Anyone who does not appear to be a spammer will be admitted.

This need not be longer than 2-3 sentences. It may take a few days before I can get round to joining you up. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Commercial messages are generally not allowed especially if the poster has not declared a financial interest or is blatantly self-promoting either a website (even if it is an EFL/ESL one) or their own materials. Members are asked to inquire of the Moderator before posting such messages or they will _be_banned_on_first_offence.
