Five Tips for Reading: Tip #1 Read what interests YOU. You can study my students favourite lesson: Daily News (Read World News While Learning English!) We can carefully select what suits you, and what interests you the most. I have a wide selection of materials to chose from from: politics, geography, travel, science, technology ... and much more! Tip #2 Make a note of new vocabulary. My lesson include a list new vocabulary learnt in the lesson, which I will give in the feedback! It will also outline some more challenging vocabulary, that you may not be familiar with! If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in your vocabulary book. But you don't have to write them while you read. Instead, try to guess their meaning as you read; mark them with a pen; then come back when you have finished reading to check in a dictionary and add them to your vocabulary book. Tip #3 Try to read regularly. For example, read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday. Fix a time to read and keep to it. For example, you could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed, or when you get up, or at lunchtime. Tip #4 Be organised. Have everything ready: something to read a marker to highlight difficult words a dictionary your vocabulary book a pen to write down the new words Tip #5 Try to read at the right level. Read something that you can (more or less) understand. If you need to stop every three words to look in a dictionary, it is not interesting for you and you will soon be discouraged.
