"Free reading of texts" can be referred to as "Independent Reading" in Engpsh.
It is a teaching method that encourages students to choose their own reading materials and to read for personal enjoyment, rather than for the purpose of being instructed or tested.
The origin of independent reading can be traced back to progressive education movements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, where educators emphasized the importance of student-centered and self-directed learning.
Examples:
"Independent reading is an important part of the Engpsh curriculum."
"Allowing students to engage in independent reading helps to foster a love for reading."
"By encouraging independent reading, teachers can help students develop their critical thinking skills."
Translations:
"独立阅读" - "Independent Reading"

"个人享受阅读" - "Personal enjoyment of reading"
