Introduction
Step by Step: Your First Journey to Developing Strong Reading Skills
Today, English reading comprehension education for middle school students is shifting from simply reading texts and solving questions toward enhancing comprehensive understanding, including context and critical thinking processes. Many students initially feel overwhelmed by the complicated sentence structures and unfamiliar vocabulary presented in front of them, losing interest in reading.
The "Fandom Reading Follower" series addresses these issues systematically, designed specifically to help students at basic to advanced levels gradually build strong reading skills.
■ Why Leveled Reading?
Every student has unique reading skills and levels of comprehension. If students face texts that are too challenging or too easy, they might lose interest and confidence in reading. This book series consists of six volumes based on Lexile® measures, allowing learners to choose texts that match their reading levels to gradually and effectively improve their comprehension skills.
Volumes 1-2 (Lexile® 400–700L): Short sentences and familiar vocabulary solidify basic reading comprehension skills. These texts help students naturally gain confidence in reading by exploring everyday topics like school life, friendship, and hobbies.
Volumes 3-4 (Lexile® 600–900L): Texts become more structured, exploring diverse situations and subjects, such as science, common sense, history, and cultural topics. Students enhance logical thinking and reasoning skills through various materials.
Volumes 5-6 (Lexile® 800–1200L): Focusing on complex subjects including science, philosophy, and culture, these volumes provide practical preparation for standardized tests like TOEFL and TOEIC, allowing students to experience realistic test formats.
■ How is the Book Structured?
"Fandom Reading Follower" is carefully structured, integrating reading texts with vocabulary, grammar, and expressions for a balanced learning experience:
Vocabulary: For each text, 10-15 key vocabulary words are selected, accompanied by quizzes (five choices each) and vocabulary completion exercises.
Grammar & Structure Analysis: Thorough analysis of key grammar points and sentence structures used in each text, with exercises to check comprehension.
Reading Comprehension: Engaging activities including detailed checks, main idea identification, and reasoning skills (questions of "Why?", "How?", and "What if?").
Extended Activities: Topic-related discussions, short debates, and creative writing tasks (brief essay or summary writing).
Additionally, mobile-optimized multimedia support, including audio recordings, online PDF resources, and QR codes, helps students engage actively in their learning anytime and anywhere, encouraging consistent study habits and motivation.
■ Educational Vision
The primary objective of "Fandom Reading Follower" is to cultivate genuine readers who value critical thinking and imagination. Reading is not merely about "what did you read?" but rather "how did you interpret it?" and "can you interpret it differently?", promoting deeper and reflective thinking. Moreover, by exploring various subjects such as science, history, culture, and the arts, the series aims to foster holistic thinking and personal growth.
With six volumes and twenty-four units per volume, students can systematically follow their personal progress and gradually immerse themselves in meaningful learning experiences. By encountering relatable scenarios, students develop critical thinking and broaden their perspectives about the world around them.
"Challenges can be overcome with proper guidance."
We sincerely hope that through this series, students discover the true joy of reading, build genuine confidence, and develop the power to learn independently.
Sincerely,Lee Tae-yoon, Author
