Tadoku 多読 (Fun and Extensive Reading) Program

The library has collected reading materials to support a fun and extensive reading program for students of East Asian languages. A shelf designated to this reading program is on the 5^th floor of Watson Library in the International Collection reading room. Staff have selected level readers and comic books to promote extended reading opportunities. The materials selected are classified into beginner, intermediate, advanced, and classical or modern text levels, and are available in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The library hopes students are motivated and find this program beneficial for language acquisition. A library guide for this program can be found at https://guides.lib.ku.edu/tadoku
