Reading:

    Reading is an important part of learning English. This guide to how to improve your reading skills will help you improve reading by using skills you use in your own language. In other words, one of the best tips on improving reading is to think about how you read in your own language. Start by thinking about how you read different documents. How do you read the newspaper? How do you read novels? How do you read train schedules? and so on. Taking time to think about this will help give you clues on how to read in English - even if you don't understand every single word.

    In this guide you will learn about: reading and why it matters; reading materials for English language learners; typical tasks found in English-language reading tests; general reading tips to become a stronger reader; where you can find reading materials; reading strategies for better comprehension; and common reading categories to choose from. You can also consult the reading glossary for any words about reading that you don't understand.
