Link to ESL Reading

My name is Kieran McGovern and I am writer of readers and the editor of http://www.eslreading.org, a site devoted to free graded reading materials. You can find more about my background here: http://www.eslreading.org/about/editor.html ESL Reading has been linked to http://www.extensivereading.net for some years, but until now I haven't had the chance to have a proper look at what the Extensive Reading Foundation does. I am very impressed with what you are offering and have put a link on my ER page here http://www.eslreading.org/Teaching/Teaching/extensivereading.html and on my links page here http://www.eslreading.org/links/links.html. Reciprocal links would be much appreciated. I have revamped my site recently, improving the design and navigation. I have also been adding a lot of materials, including a series of short texts called 'Did that Really Happen?' http://www.eslreading.org/strange/strangenews.html. Comments and suggestions for further materials would be very welcome - I am particularly interested in increasing the interactivity of site. I have also prepared PDF versions of the most popular stories on the site, including my version of the Dickens ghost story 'The Signalman' http://www.eslreading.org/ghost/ghost/signalman.html. I am interested in making these materials more widely available and would happy to work with ERF in doing so. Many thanks Kieran McGovern http://www.eslreading.org
