Japan Extensive Reading Project


back to the JET Lounge
back to the Japan ERP site


The aim of the project is to improve student ability and interest in English by providing comprehensible reading input. This project will initially be limited to JHS resources, but these should prove useful for all but the most high-level SHS students as well.


Plan:

    * Determine appropriate levels for materials, roughly based on the junior high school textbooks “New Horizon”
    * Set up a website detailing the vocabulary and grammar to be used at each level
    * Invite contributions from teachers, and host downloadable materials


MATERIALS
Junior High School 1st Grade:

Junior High School 2nd Grade:

Junior High School 3rd Grade:

    * The true story of Pooh
        A one page account of the origins of Winnie the Pooh, by Chris Heyd.
