I've been working as an EFL teacher for 10 years and I can't agree with you moreee: 'A classroom library, access to books and silent reading are fundamental for literacy development. Encouraging our kids to read make our work as teachers easier;)
Try also reading poetry aloud for them -- and letting them read aloud afterwards. Preferably with something like Paradise Lost, which has complicated syntax and uses many tricks in an intricate fashion (everything has to be explained, word by word, of course). That's what students get the most out of, and reading prose becomes a walk in the park after that kind of training.
What about audio books? I've listened to a bunch. At the beginning I didn't like them, but then I started listening to some in German, and suddmly I realised that my German improved substantianly,, believe it not...
I think audio books would be a good idea. Krashen advocates input as the primary driver for language acquisition, meaning reading and listening. He advocates for extensive reading, so I can only imagine he'd be in agreement with "extensive listening".
Greetings for Dr. Krashen from Old Prussia (now Eastern Europe) probably related too ;) I am reading very informative book of Miriam Weinstein "Yiddish-A nation of Words" and I will be have mine blintz kreig...lol

I’ve been learning Italian from scratch just by listening to audiobooks I’m familiar with in English

He deserves a better audience. Half of them looked bored to death.
Not surprised - he's so full of himself.
