  1. Good! It would also be a good idea to include the sentence from my essay in which I used the word "material." I wrote "it is better to read materials that are not too difficult." The "material" used to make a tablecloth and the "materials" that one chooses to read are slightly different. By the way, Longman has this definition: "the things that are used for making or doing something [reading/writing etc material(s)]." So, "reading material" is something to read (that is, something to use when we want to read or study). If you search Google with the words "reading materials" you will find many examples of how this word is used.
