Limits[edit]

the "Limits" section is probably NPOV ("convincingly") and needs the grammar and style to be improved. 202.179.22.106 (talk) 04:09, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Extensive Reading in Chinese[edit]

The text says "As of 2008, readers [books] are notably absent or scarce" in Chinese. But now I think the Chinese Breeze series of graded readers by the Peking University Press, with about 20 volume in levels 1--3, fills that gap. They certainly enable people to read 50 page stories for pleasure. Unless "extensive reading" is understood as a very specific more or less trademarked concept, I think http://www.chinesebreeze.net/ should be added to the links.

Really—this is a thing?[edit]

Okay, let me get this straight: Lots of reading is good for kids, and it helps people learn, and people should be encouraged to read a lot every day, and to read things they enjoy? Sorry, but this needs a bunch of researchers and scholars weighing in on it? Couldn't we just describe it as I have above, and break for lunch? 🤷‍♂️ – AndyFielding (talk) 17:15, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
