The present study was motivated by the need to elucidate the differential effects of extensive reading on different aspects of foreign/second language ability, some of which may improve more quickly than others. Development of general reading ability and lower-level linguistic ability was examined.

Improvement from a pretest to a posttest was found to be significant for reading ability, but not for linguistic ability.
