Can very weak students choose to read very simple books such as primary school readers?
Students should be encouraged to begin with texts at an appropriate level of difficulty so they will not be put off by books that they find unmanageable. However, they should progress to more demanding texts as they develop their language skills over the two years. The texts used for assessment purposes should be similar to the recommended ones in terms of length and level of difficulty.
