What+is+the+rationale+for+using+varied+reading+materials?

====There are may reasons for selecting the materials a teacher uses for their instruction, but the best Rationale for using varied reading materials was found in, "//The Use of Authentic Materials in the Teaching of Reading"// by Sacha Anthony Berardo, //The Reading Matric//, September 2006, 6 (2) P. 63. As you can see there are important factors in choosing the authentic text, we used a table to indicate whether we found evidence of each factor in the materials. We looked to see if it was suitable content, if it could be exploited, the readability of the text, and the presentation of the text to get started.====
