From the survey above, it turns out that more than a half of you do not read books in English 🥲
In fact, reading books in English can be a rewarding yet challenging experience.
Here’s a useful guide to help you navigate this journey effectively✨
Steps to read books in English:
🔢Choose the right book Select a book that matches your interests and English proficiency to keep motivated throughout reading.
🔢Use context clues Don’t rush to look up every unfamiliar word. Instead, try to infer meanings from the surrounding text.
🔢Take notes Keep a notebook handy to jot down new words, phrases, and your thoughts as you read. Summarise sections in your own words to reinforce your understanding.
🔢Read aloud Practising pronunciation by reading aloud can enhance your language skills.
🔢Visualise the content Create mental images of the scenes or concepts as you read. This technique can improve your comprehension and make the material more memorable.
🔢Engage in discussions Talk about what you’ve read with peers or teachers. Discussing the material can clarify doubts and deepen your understanding.
🔢Practise regularly Set aside time each day for reading, even if it’s just a few pages. Consistency is key to progress.
🔢Revisit and review After a couple of days, go back to your notes, summarise what you've learned and keep going✨
