The Moodle Reader

The Moodle “Reader” plug-in module provides quizzes on over 7000 graded readers and books for young readers, so that teachers can have a simple way to assess their students' work. All quizzes are randomized with a time-limit for their completion which allows students to take the quizzes open-book, even at home, while minimizing the possibility of cheating. Note that there is no reading material for students on either system apart from the quizzes themselves. These tools are available free or charge, supported by the Extensive Reading Foundation.

The Extensive Reading approach to language acquisition advocates the reading of a large volume of material that is easier than the learner's language level, rapidly with little dictionary use, of material of the learner's own choice. Through this massive amount of reading the student can internalize the grammar and vocabulary that has already been studied. See the Extensive Reading Foundation and ER-Central for further information on this approach to language learning.

This site offers support to those who have installed the Moodle "Reader" plug-in on their own school's Moodle.
