Classroom Pilot Study on Semi-Repeated Reading

A classroom pilot study with university students in Japan was conducted using “choose your own adventure” style graded readers that allow for some repeated and new reading content in each session. Quantitative data on reading speed and vocabulary; and qualitative data on reading motivation was collected. Reading speeds increased and unknown vocabulary decreased with each session; however, recognition was not entirely retained on post-tests. Reading anxiety decreased while desire to read more increased.
