The Power of Reading, p. 15, citing a study by Nagy, Herman and Anderson “Incidental learning of words during reading may be the easiest and single most powerful means of promoting large-scale vocabulary growth.” –Nagy, W.E. & Herman, P.A. (1987). Breadth and Depth of Vocabulary Knowledge: Implications for Acquisition and Instruction. In M.G. McKeown & M.E. Curtis (Eds.), The Nature of Vocabulary Acquisition, p. 27 “According to the research, students who do SSR typically gain at least as much on standardized tests as students who participate in traditional programs, and usually do much better if the program lasts long enough. SSR is ideal for the intermediate level but also can begin earlier.” –Stephen Krashen (1997). Foreign Language Education the Easy Way, p. 26
