How to improve your reading skills
“Today a Reader, Tomorrow a Leader”
Strategies for Reading Improvement
1. Read About things that interest you
If you are interest in what you are
reading about, the words will come
alive, and you will be motivated to
understand
2. Read Materials That is of your
Level or a Littlie Difficult for you
Looking up many unknown words in a
conventional dictionary is tedious
and difficult to retain.
Initially stay in your comfort zone and
keep reading.
3. Learn to Read in-depth, stay on
the Same Subject for a while
 If you familiar with the subject, you will read
more.
 Read at least one complete book of one author.
 If the subject in new to you, try to read few more
books about the same subject. This will make
you come across the same ideas and
vocabulary.
 Going deeper into subject improves reading
confidence.
4.Listen First if you have Trouble in
Reading
Listen to audio files of the material
that you are reading.
Hearing the rhythm of someone
reading a text will help your own
reading.
This practice makes difficult content
seem more familiar.
5. Let your imagination Get
Involved
 Good reader get engrossed in their reading and
let it trigger their imagination.
 Enjoy the reading experience and look forward
to absorb the information, ideas and thoughts
expressed by the writer.
6. Don’t Worry About What You
don’t understand
 While reading, you may even understand
something in your own personal way but
you can still enjoy reading without
understanding all of what you read.
7. Recognize That the key is to
Read a lot
 You may develop a system for keeping track of
new words that you encounter in your reading.
 However, the main growth in your vocabulary
and reading skill will come just from reading as
much as you can.
 Keep reading, and you will become a better
reader.
“I really had a lot of dreams when I was a kid, and I think a
great deal of that grew out of the fact that I had a
chance to read a lot.”
Bill gates
“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!
How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! –
When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I
have not an excellent library.”
Jane Austen
Thanks & good luck
