The purpose of this article is to find out how the Extensive Reading approach affects EFL learners' reading literacy. The research sample consisted of 37 eighth-grade students from SMP PARIGI. The writer chose the sample using a random sampling technique. The author employed quantitative research with a quasi-experimental design that included a pre- and post-test. The pre-test mean for students is 57.16, while the post-test mean for students following therapy is 81.21. The outcome of the T-test is -2.50, with a degree of significance of 5% (=2.028). Extensive Reading, in other words, has an impact on students' reading literacy.
