How To Improve Your English Reading Skills

welcome to speak English with Tiffany I

am teacher Tiffany let’s jump right in

alright there are seven different ways

to improve your reading skills the first

way is to read out loud you see you read

the text passage book or a blog in a

good speaking voice try to be loud but

don’t scream also you want to be loud

enough to hear yourself so try to go to

a secluded place now I want to explain

this word to you secluded just means a

place where there are not a lot of

people ok our place where there are only

a few people or not a lot of people okay

so we say a place where you can be alone

can a place where you can be alone we

say is a secluded place all right now

there are three benefits to this method

okay the first benefit is you become

more engaged with the information

because you are using your eyes and your

ears now when you’re reading the

information out loud you’re speaking and

you’re also using your ears as you read

okay all right the second benefit is it

helps you improve your pronunciation

because you will begin to listen to

yourself more intently alright so again

I pointed this out in the first benefit

but the more you read out loud the more

you will listen to yourself and you’ll

begin to see which words you’re

pronouncing correctly and which words

you’re not pronouncing correctly okay

alright number three the third benefit

reading out loud actually helps to

improve your comprehension this is

because reading out loud helps you to

internalize the words you are reading

now I want to explain this word

internalize okay this means to go inside

okay

to go inside and understand okay to go

inside and under stand okay so let me

explain what this means related to

reading out loud the information comes

from the book we say it it goes to our

ears and then this information goes

inside of our brain okay so this is what

it means to internalize you’ve read it

you’ve heard it and then you go here and

understand it in your brain okay so

that’s what the word internalized means

all right so again step one or method

one is to read out loud

alright now let’s look at the second

method the second method is to read

various topics okay after recognizing

what topics you are interested in look

for English material about those topics

but remember to not simply focus on one

topic you want to get a variety of

different topics so you’ll notice over

here this is actually a comic book this

is a book about nature and this is a

book about business so I have different

topics to read about okay now let’s look

at the benefits of doing or using this

method the first benefit is you will be

exposed to a wide variety of vocabulary

words so your vocabulary will also

improve alright so again this method

will really help your vocabulary improve

which will also improve and increase

your ability to read in English very

well alright alright number two you will

not become bored with your English

Studies because you will have different

topics to read about so again you won’t

be bored because there are so many

topics for you to read about so you will

have a desire to read more okay and

finally you will begin to make

connections between the various topics

basically you will see common patterns

that occur in written English material

again your reading skill will also

improve as you are able to recognize

these patterns okay so that’s why it’s

so important to use this method of

reading various topics all right let’s

keep going method number three read new

words when you see a vocabulary word

that you have never seen before

repeat the word five to ten times out

loud if you don’t know the pronunciation

you can find it in the dictionary and

then repeat after listening to the audio

file okay so you want to repeat words

over and over that you don’t know or

that you are not familiar with okay now

here’s the benefit you will begin to

recognize which part of the word is

difficult to pronounce okay what happens

is when you first save the word you’re

going to realize and notice that your

tongue or your mouth has a hard time

pronouncing certain parts of that word

well the next time you say that you will

actually focus on that part so that you

can say it better so this will help you

with your pronunciation okay next you

will gain confidence in your ability to

say the word which will increase your

fluency so the next time when you’re

speaking to your friends if that word

that you saw in the book or whatever you

were reading since you said it 1 2 3 4 5

6 7 or more times you will now have

confidence and you will be more fluent

when you speak and use that word okay

alright and finally you’ll become more

familiar with the word your reading

skill is connected with your knowledge

of vocabulary and also with your fluency

they go hand-in-hand okay alright so

again method 3 read new words alright

method number 4

read often daily okay so you read often

and my suggestion is to read daily so

try to read as often as possible

you can choose to read every day or

every other day but it is important to

set aside a specific amount of time for

reading to start let’s say you can read

for five minutes and then move up to

twenty or thirty minutes it all depends

on your schedule you may be too busy to

do twenty minutes but you can do five

minutes all right so let’s look at the

benefits okay the first benefit you will

begin to understand and comprehend more

how native English speakers think okay

so the more you are reading the more you

are spending time on a daily basis

trying to understand English or papers

that were written in English the more

you will actually understand native

speakers okay alright next you will

start to read faster and with more

confidence the more you do something the

better you will get at it okay and

finally the third benefit it will help

to improve your vocabulary comprehension

and ability to speak about various

topics okay the more you read the better

you get all right let’s move on

number five read with a friend now this

is a very unique method but I really

like it you see find a friend who is

also an English Learner

and pick an English book or blog to read

together with them you can take turns

reading a sentence a paragraph or a page

each this will help you with your

listening your speaking and your

comprehension so there are many benefits

for this as well but the top three are

these okay your desire to read will

increase because it will become more fun

because you’re doing it with a

and this is because you will be reading

with a partner or friend alright this is

exactly what I just said it’s gonna be

more enjoyable because you’re not doing

it alone instead there are two people

you and your friend working and reading

together okay all right number two you

will recognize how your friend reads and

you will help them improve which will

also help you improve so again by

recognizing your friends weaknesses or

strong points it will have an effect on

you and will help you improve as well

and finally the third benefit is you

will improve your listening skills

remember reading is also connected with

your ability to understand and listen

well okay so this method reading with a

friend will really help you improve in

these areas alright let’s move on to

method number six alright so method

number six is read three times yep

you’re right read three times so similar

to reading the same word over and over

this method requires you to read the

same thing more than once

however this focuses more on reading an

entire passage or page more than once

okay so let’s go to the benefits really

quickly alright so benefit number one

this will greatly improve your

comprehension skills now I want to tell

you quickly about my experience what

happened to me was the first time I read

a passage there were many parts that I

did not understand

however after going to the second time I

began to understand a little bit more

because there was a familiarity I

remembered some of the things I had read

from the passage the first time so when

I moved to the third time of reading the

passage I really

began to comprehend or understand what

the person was trying to explain okay

alright number two it will help you with

proper pronunciation and fluency

basically you will begin to read at a

more natural pace you see the more

familiar you are with a piece of

literature the easier it will be for you

to read faster and at a normal pace

alright and finally number three it will

help you recognize and then become

familiar with new vocabulary words

patterns and sentence structures all of

these things will affect your ability to

understand but they will also affect

your ability to speak properly okay so

again method number six read three times

okay method number seven method number

seven is read your level now this is

very important okay for this method you

need to find English reading material

that you can understand after skimming

or reading over briefly over the

information see if you can understand at

least 50% if you can’t try to find

something else to read this is so

important okay so number one the first

benefit you will not feel as stressed

alright I want to tell you about one of

my students that I had and actually a

couple of my students in the past who

experienced this you see they wanted to

look at CNN and read articles on CNN and

also look at other news articles but

they were getting so frustrated why

because they didn’t understand even ten

percent of what the article was saying

so they were getting frustrated that’s

why I said this method is so important

you need to read your level make sure

you can understand at least fifty

percent and then continue reading that

article

or blog post or different material that

you have with you okay so let’s move on

to number two

you will improve your reading ability at

the proper pace sometimes when you’re

studying English and you’re trying to

improve your reading skill you want to

jump too fast but you need to do it at a

natural pace so focus on reading at your

level and then you will improve steadily

okay not too quickly alright and finally

you will desire to read more this is so

important since you understand a portion

of the information you will want to read

even more information okay so you will

realize that suddenly there is an

enjoyment that you experience when you

are reading because you understand the

information okay alright I want to

有七种不同的方法

可以提高你的阅读技巧 第

一种方法是大声朗读 你看到你

用好口语读了课文或博客

试试 大声但

不要尖叫 你想大声

听到自己的声音 所以试着去

一个僻静的地方 现在我想

向你解释这个词 僻静的意思

是一个人不多的地方

ok our

人少或人不多的地方 好的

所以我们说一个你可以独处

的地方 一个你可以独处的地方 我们

说是一个僻静的地方 现在

好了 这个方法有三个好处 好 第一个好处是您

对信息的参与度更高,

因为您

现在在

大声朗读信息

时正在使用眼睛和耳朵

有好处吗 ps 你会提高你的发音,

因为你会开始

更专心地听自己

说话,所以我在第一个好处中再次指出了这一点,

但是你越大声朗读,

继续方法三阅读新的

单词 当你看到一个你从未见过的词汇单词

时 大声重复这个单词五到十次

如果你不知道发音

你可以在字典里找到它

然后在听完音频文件后重复

好的 所以你想要

一遍又一遍地重复你不知道

或你不熟悉的单词 好的,现在

这是你将开始

认识到单词的哪个部分

难以理解的好处 发音好

当你第一次保存你将要意识到的单词时会

你可以选择每天或

隔天阅读,但重要的是

要留出特定的时间

阅读五分钟 然后移动到

二十或三十分钟,这完全

取决于你的日程安排你可能太忙了,不能

做 20 分钟,但你可以做 5

分钟,所以让我们看看

好处,好吧,你将

开始理解和理解的第一个好处

以英语为母语的人如何认为还可以,

所以您阅读的越多,

您每天花费的时间就越多,

试图理解英语或

用英语写的论文,

方法六好吧,

方法六读三遍是的,

这将大大提高你的

理解能力现在我 想

快速告诉你我的经历

发生在我身上的是我第一次读
