The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of different types of reading materials on Korean high school students in regards to the amount of extensive reading, student attitude toward reading, and motivation for reading. Toward this end, previous studies on extensive reading were reviewed, followed by the development of record sheets and preand post-questionnaires to measure reading amount and affective aspects, respectively. The types of reading materials were divided into four groups: long text with Korean glosses, long text without Korean glosses, short text, and a mixed text. Data, collected from a total of 229 high school students, revealed the following findings. First, in terms of reading amount, all groups showed increased tendencies over 15 observation sessions. Second, the group of long texts with Korean glosses demonstrated the most remarkable increase in the mean score of reading words per minute. Third, there was a statistical difference in student attitude and motivation demonstrated in all groups except the short text group. Fourth, factor analysis and t-test of factors revealed considerable changes in six factors out of a total of nine. Based on the findings, pedagogical recommendations in incorporating extensive reading and limitations of this study are suggested.
