This study reports the reading materials that affected the learners' reading performance and the effectiveness of SSR (Sustained Silent Reading) on motivating learners to participate in reading extensively. Recently, extensive reading has been gaining popularity in university and high school English classes because of its effectiveness on improving learners' reading fluency, vocabulary acquisition, and affect toward English. However, an ER program's success depends greatly on how it is implemented. This study reports what kinds of reading materials students chose to read and how students who participated in SSR surpassed the students who were assigned an outside-of-class reading in the amount. A total of 245 university students participated in extensive reading for 8 months. Two classes of 84 students participated in SSR for 40-45 minutes each week, another two classes of 77 students participated in 10-minute-reading in class during the first semester and reading outside of class during the second semester, and the other two classes of 84 students read only outside of class. Only two students from the SSR group stopped reading in the middle, whereas 24 students (33.4%) from the second group stopped reading when 10-minute-reading finished, and 12 students (14%) from the outside-of-class reading group did not participate in reading. The results indicate that SSR worked to motivate students reading extensively.
