The participants were Saudi freshmen students in a medical university, and the data were collected from two sources: pre-and post-test scores and an open-ended questionnaire. The results indicated students’ significant progress in reading comprehension and vocabulary knowledge in the post-test stage. Similarly, students had positive attitudes and experiences after the intervention toward learning reading. Students reported that the extensive reading online program helped them to read more efficiently with maximum comprehension and work at their pace to develop their learning skills. It also was found that extensive reading created a motivating environment for learning. Students changed their views of reading as solely as an academic activity into seeing it as a personal interest and a lifelong learning activity.

This is because students often need to spend a longtime reading different materials at classes and studying at home. However, some students encounter many reading difficulties, such as dealing with long texts and recognizing unknown vocabulary, which might lead to ineffective reading, developing bad reading habits and having negative attitudes toward the read materials. One way to tackle the problem of reading failure is to encourage students tobe actively involved in reading, by using different strategies to approach the complexity of reading texts (ALRoomy and Alhawsawi, 2019) . Another way is to support students in exposure to different long texts in a blended learning format. Such kind of reading is known as extensive reading, which was viewed traditionally as an activity in which students pick up a book and read it for pleasure without any follow-up activities. This is an additional process students undertake outside the classroom. (Bamford & Day, 2004) . It has many benefits including but not limited to increasing students’ motivation to read, enlarging students’ repertoire of vocabulary and grammar, speeding up reading rate, affecting positively reading comprehension and improving students’ retention of the read mate-  \nrials (Nation, 2001, Richards & Schmidt, 2002, Williams, 2009, Rott (1999) .  \nThis study focuses on the impact of creating an entertaining online extensive reading program suitable for each student’s reading level and then monitoring student progress. However, few studies have been done to investigate whether extensive reading in a blended learning format could help ESL students perform better in reading comprehension. Therefore, in this paper, we recognize the value of online ","cbCaik18K17ISCbG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaik18K17ISCbG","pdf",379030,"English","# Introduction\n# Literature Review\n## Definition of Extensive Reading","[{\"question\":\"What learning approach does the study evaluate for medical students’ reading?\",\"answer\":\"The study evaluates an extensive reading online program implemented through a blended learning format, combining online reading with support and feedback plus traditional face-to-face interaction.\"},{\"question\":\"How were students’ reading outcomes measured in the study?\",\"answer\":\"Data were collected from pre- and post-test scores and an open-ended questionnaire to assess changes in reading comprehension and vocabulary knowledge as well as learners’ attitudes.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the main results after the intervention?\",\"answer\":\"Students showed significant progress in reading comprehension and vocabulary knowledge in the post-test stage.
