This talk will focus on the practicalities of conducting an extensive reading program, with comparisons of both in-person lessons and lessons conducted online.

The presenter will highlight his approach as well as tools such as paper graded readers, free online readers and subscription services that students were able to utilize in order to participate both during the pandemic and when classes resumed face-to-face.
