在語言學習中，廣泛閱讀有很多好處。這些包括閱讀和寫作能力的提升，口語和聽力技能，詞彙的增長以及動機，自尊心和同理心的品格培養。廣泛閱讀的孩子也變得更加願意自主學習。

即使是緩慢的閱讀，每分鐘的閱讀也會比電視節目或歌曲給學生帶來更多的句子，語法和新詞彙。因此閱讀為孩子提供了更廣泛的詞彙及語法，也為大腦提供了正確且自然的語言結構。這就是為什麼廣泛閱讀的孩子比不讀書的孩子英文更流利的原因。

There are many benefits of Extensive Reading in language learning. These include gains in reading and writing competence, oral and aural skills, vocabulary growth, and increases in motivation, self-esteem and empathy. Students who read extensively also become more autonomous learners.

Reading, even at a slow pace, exposes children to more sentences, grammar, and new vocabulary per minute than the average TV show or song. Reading offers children a wider range of vocabulary and grammar, it essentially supports and feeds the brain with the correct language structures. This is why children who read books are able to speak more fluently than children who don’t.
