The selection of reading materials should base on the learners’ need and cognitive ability, meanwhile the readability and feasibility of the reading materials lead to the effectiveness of reading. As far as it is concerned, different theorists hold different opinions, sometimes even diametrically opposed views. Some theorists reject the value of researches on reading materials while other theorists hold that the issue on reading materials should not be avoided in the research of effective reading.
