How reading promotes Learning for ELL's"Reading is an excellent source of comprehensible input that enhances second language development." (Krashen, 2004c). "Students have virtually unlimited number of opportunities to encounter written English through books, magazines, newspapers, the Internet, and other written sources." (Wright, 2015). Reading gives the ELL's in the classroom choice. While it may be challenging for ELL's to learn English through communication, ELL's are able to choose which level of difficulty they would like within books. With text, ELL's may re-read, take extra time to read, and use illustrations to help them comprehend.
