text books, novels and newspapers to websites, instructions, or even a text
massage. Reading may expand one’s vocabulary as well as broaden one’s mind. If

ability? Here are some suggestions.

as you read more. Second, read intensively. Intensive reading is focused more on
details of what you are reading. Choose reading materials that is suitable for
your reading ability and read slowly and focus on individual words and
sentences. You may also take notes or read out loudly to help you better
understand the material. Third, read extensively. The technique of extensive
reading focuses on the overall picture. Try to identify key words when you are
reading. After reading, review what you are reading by summarizing it. Last but
not least, stay focused and motivated when you’re reading.
