  • The Extensive Reading Foundation announces the First Extensive Reading World Congress, to be held on the campus of Kyoto Sangyo University, Kyoto, Japan from 3-6 September 2011. The World Congress represents the first time for all those involved with the extensive reading approach -- teachers, scholars, writers and publishers -- to gather under one roof for a conference dedicated purely to extensive reading.

    Official support ("Koen Meigi") has been received from Kyoto Prefectural Board of Education and the Kyoto City Board of Education for ERWC1!
