In the second part of our interview with Dr. Rob Waring, he tells us about his experiences as author and editor of graded readers in general, with particular reference to a very successful collection whose books he co-authored with Maurice Jamall: Heinle Cengage’s Foundations Reading Library. For those of you who want to know more about the topic of this podcast, here are a couple of nice readings: First, a text by Rob Waring on the art of writing graded readers. https://www.er-central.com/authors/writing-a-graded-reader/writing-graded-readers-rob-waring/ Second, an article by Stuart McLean on the graded reader collection we discuss in the interview. http://jalt-publications.org/content/index.php/jer/article/view/5 Note: we recorded this episode before this week’s horrible floods in Japan and feel a little embarrassed about how lightly we talk about the rain in the episode.
