From Input to Intake: The Effect of Simplified Readers on ESL Development.

Tudor, Ian; Hafiz, Fateh Muhammad

Journal of Reading, v32 n8 p688-93 May 1989

Examines the effect of simplified reading materials on writing skills of 10-year-old English-as-a-Second-Language students in England. Finds no increase in students' expressive resources but does find a consolidating effect on command of the language system. Relates results to Krashen's model of second language acquisition. (RS)
