  "title": "Keep extensive and intensive reading as different modes",
  "summary": "One page does not need to carry every learning objective.",
  "kind": "heuristic",
  "body": "Decide the mode before reading. Extensive mode optimizes continuity, volume and broad exposure. Intensive mode slows down to inspect a difficult passage, argument, construction or lexical pattern. Switching modes deliberately prevents two common failures: shallow analysis of difficult material and painfully slow 'extensive' reading.",
  "limits": [
    "The modes can coexist in one week or even one text, but the switch should be conscious."

      "claim": "A 2025 meta-analysis found positive small-to-medium effects of extensive reading across reading comprehension, vocabulary, decoding/fluency, motivation, writing, oral proficiency and general language proficiency.",
      "source_id": "RS-D23ACDC5FEE480C7",
      "role": "supports",
      "note": "Extensive reading programs varied substantially, and positive average effects do not define one universal text difficulty or weekly volume.",

  "use_when": [
    "The same text is expected to provide pleasure, vocabulary mining, grammar analysis, pronunciation practice and full comprehension at once."
  ],
  "avoid_when": [
    "The modes can coexist in one week or even one text, but the switch should be conscious."
  ],
  "example": "Read the chapter continuously, then return to one paragraph whose argument or language is worth studying.",
  "check": "The learner can state whether the current block is extensive or intensive and behaves accordingly.",
