INPUT first for your English Skill

If I remember correctly, in Terri's class, we've learned that "Extensive reading is for the solution of students whose language environment is non-English speaking."Lots of reading is helpful. Recently, I like reading Sidney Sheldon which is easy to read but lots of slang. I mean, these kinds of book are full of authentic dialogues.
For instance, "If she can't cut it, she's out." from Sidney Sheldon's NOTHING LASTS FOREVER. 'cut it' means 'make it''do well'.
Isn't this authentic?
The more INPUT, the more OUTPUT.
