---

When the learners do the extensive reading (ER), they are practicing the skill of reading with the aim of enjoying the reading without conciously knowing they are learning. One principle of ER is that learners become indpendent readers. It means that the learners are comfortable with their own preference. Thus, the learners are not bored when they read. For the learners who have a good reading habit, they will not mind reading a long text. However, it will be different for learners who are not accustomed to reading. Whereas, reading a lot is nedeed to support their study. Being curiosity about reading needs to be built first through these principle. Therefore, the writer focuses on writing about self-selectd theme in ER with regard to novels and newspaper articles.
