In this lesson, you can learn how to improve your reading skills in English.

We'll show you the number one mistake English learners make when they try to practice their

You'll see a step-by-step plan that you can use to improve your English reading skills,

and we'll give you several suggestions to improve your English reading level more quickly

You heard just now that there's one big mistake that many English learners make when

So, what is it, and how can you avoid it?

Think about whether you've been here before.

You can't understand a lot of it, and there are many unknown words.

You start looking up every word you don't know in a dictionary.

Thirty minutes later, you're either asleep, or you've read about two paragraphs.

Of course, this makes you feel bad, and you start feeling that you can't read in English,

You can read in English and you can improve, whatever your English level now.

You need to select materials at the right level.

Often, people try to read the same things they would read in their native language.

But, if your English level is intermediate, like many of the learners we meet, then you

need to accept that you can't read all the same things in English that you would read

If you try, you'll probably feel frustrated, and maybe give up.

So, it's essential to select reading materials that are the right level for your English

One: can you understand the general meaning of the text without using a dictionary?

Two: can you understand the general meaning of most sentences without using a dictionary?

Three: can you read the text at a reasonable speed?

This is subjective, but it shouldn't take an hour to read a few paragraphs.

If you can't answer 'yes' to these questions, then the text is probably too hard.

Of course, you don't want it to be too easy, either!

If you can understand everything first time, it's probably too easy.

There should be some words and ideas which aren't easy to understand.

You're probably thinking: so where can I find suitable reading materials?

That's a hard question to answer, because this depends on your level, your study goals,

Here's one suggestion: look for Graded readers.

Graded readers are books adapted specially for English learners.

They take famous stories, or even things like Shakespeare plays, and adapt them for different

Naturally, there are many other sources of English reading materials: news websites,

magazines, blogs, forums, books, journals, and so on.

However, whatever you read, it should pass these tests.

You should be able to read and understand most of the general ideas without using a

dictionary or spending hours reading a short text.

If you can get this right, then you've done the most important work.

Remember that you don't have to finish reading everything you start.

For this lesson, we're talking about reading in order to improve your English level.

To do this, you need to find the right materials at the right level.

Don't waste your time trying to read things which are much too difficult.

Let's get one thing clear: improving your reading skills in English is going to take

It's not something you can do in days or weeks.

There aren't any tricks which can help you to improve faster.

So, the best thing you can do is very simple: read as much as possible.

Spend as much time reading in English as you can.

Also, variety is important in your reading practice.

If you read the same kind of texts again and again, you'll get good at reading that kind

For example, if you only ever read news articles about economics, you'll get very good at

reading news articles about economics, but you might find it difficult to read other

If you've seen our video about how to improve your listening, then you might recognise these

That's because improving your reading and improving your listening need a similar approach.

Let's make an example reading study plan together, but first, we want you to think

about something: how many different things could you read in English?

Pause the video, and try to think of five different things you could read.

Let's make a reading study plan together.

If you're very busy, try to do five minutes a day.

If you can do ten minutes a day, do ten minutes.

But, do something, even if it's just a little bit!

If you read part of a novel one day, read something different the next day.

Also, try to find things you're interested in, and that you really want to read.

That way, it won't feel so much like studying, which will make it easier to do regularly.

Anyway, here's a possible plan for one week:

Monday: read 1-2 pages of a short story Tuesday: read a blog post

Wednesday: read a BBC news article Thursday: do a reading exercise from an English

textbook Friday: read a film review online

Saturday: read the comments on an online news article

Of course, you should make your own plan to suit your own interests and level.

When you've made your plan, write it down and stick it on a wall, or on your bathroom
