If you really want to improve your
English abilities, begin by improving your reading comprehension. By improving your
reading comprehension, you will also improve your writing and speaking abilities.
It is a proven fact that people who read a lot write better, have a more developed
vocabulary and speak with greater fluency than people who don't read much.
One of the questions most often asked by students learning English
as a second language is, What's the best way to learn English? The answer to that
question is simple. Read, read, read. Of course, the material you read must be written
in English. Another tip that will improve your reading comprehension and overall
language skills is to read aloud. While you are reading aloud, record your voice
with a tape recorder. Then, listen to your recording while rereading the passage
you just read and recorded. By recording and listening to your voice, you will soon
get used to hearing yourself speak English. When you are used to hearing yourself
speak English, English will become more natural to you. This will make it easier for
you to speak English. For more advice on improving your English, read the selection
in the left menu entitled Reading Strategies
There are several reading selections for you to choose from listed in the menu to the left.
Some of the selections have quizzes, so you can test your understanding. I hope to have quizzes for all the selections soon, so check back from time to time to see what's new.
Just for fun, try the Action Mazes.
