HOW TO IMPROVE ENGLISH READING SKILLS
As we all know, reading is an important skill for improving your fluency. If you're going to speak English well, you have to practice reading it as much as possible! Reading helps you improve your vocabulary and pronunciation, which makes all other aspects of speaking English easier.
Firstly, as you read a text, you should keep a dictionary handy. You can look up any words you don't know and make notes of their definitions in a notebook or on your computer. If there are any words that are not clear to you but seem like they should be easy to understand (for example, "mammal"), then look those up as well. Also, it's also important to expand your vocabulary beyond just the subject matter at hand; reading about animals will help improve your knowledge of biology-related words and phrases--but only if those words aren't explained within context. You may also come across unfamiliar concepts that relate back to other areas of study (such as geology).
Secondly, reading is an important part of your daily life, so it's worth making it a habit. The more you read, the better your reading skills will become. Reading for pleasure (not for school) is the best way to improve your English reading skills because you don't feel like there's pressure on you and it doesn't feel like work: it's fun! But don't just read anything--you need to choose books that are interesting and relevant so they make sense when they're translated into English in your mind.
In addition, if you're comfortable with the idea, practice reading aloud in front of a mirror. It's a great way to see how you look while reading and find out if there are any habits or mannerisms that need correcting. You can also practice with friends and family members who will give you honest feedback on your performance. If you don't feel as though anyone around would be willing to listen, try recording yourself on tape so that later on when no one is around for feedback purposes, listen back and see how much improvement has been made!
Furthermore, it's easy to get lost in a book, especially if it's an engaging one. The first time I read "To Kill a Mockingbird," I was so engrossed that when I reached the end of the story and looked up from my copy of the novel, I found myself standing on top of a mountain near my home! It was only then that I realized how far away from home I had actually travelled while reading about Scout Finch and her adventures growing up in Maycomb County, Alabama during the Great Depression.
Finally, it can be tempting to read without stopping for anything else - but doing so will limit your comprehension skills because you won't have time or space for processing what you've read before moving on to the next section of text (or paragraph). Instead, try taking notes while reading by underlining keywords or phrases; circling unfamiliar words or expressions; highlighting important passages with highlighter pens; and writing questions or comments in margins next to certain paragraphs...
