Being able to connect ideas within and between sentences helps kids understand the whole text. Reading aloud and talking about experiences can help kids build reading skills.
The act of reading is complex. Kids need a bunch of skills to both understand and remember what they’ve read. Here are some reasons they might have a hard time with reading comprehension. Reading speed: Do they read slowly? The longer it takes to get through a sentence or paragraph, the harder it can be to “hold on to” and think about the meaning of what they’ve read.Make connections. When kids connect what they already know to what they read, it helps them focus. Show your child how to make connections when you read aloud. If a book mentions places you’ve been to with your child, talk about those memories. Then have your child give it a try. 2. Ask questions. Asking questions encourages kids to look for clues in the text. When you read together, ask questions to spark your child’s curiosity. Ask things like “What do you think will happen?” or “How is that character feeling?” 3. Make “mind movies.” Visualizing helps bring a story to life. That’s where mind movies come in. When you read with your child, describe what the scene looks like in your head. Talk about how it makes you feel. You can use other senses, too. For example, if the scene takes place outside, what does it smell like? Then invite your child to make a mind movie, too. Point out how your child’s movie is different from yours. If your child likes to draw or color, encourage your child to make a picture of the scene, too. 4. Look for clues.
When you combine what you already know with clues from a story, you can make guesses or predictions. These are inferences.
What about it was confusing? Were there specific words that tripped your child up? 7. Try new things. The more kids know about the world, the more they can get meaning out of what they read. You don’t have to take an expensive trip or go to a museum to do this, though. You can expand kids’ background knowledge and vocabulary in lots of ways. Shooting hoops or watching a baseball game can help your child connect more with books about sports. Riding the subway might make your child interested in books that take place in big cities.Identify your reading level Before you can do anything, you need to know your current level. This is the starting point for improving your reading skills. It’ll tell you what texts to choose and what activities to do. If you already know your level — maybe you recently took a test — then great, you can move on to the next tip. If you don’t know your level, you need to self-assess your reading skills. Don’t worry, this doesn’t need to be 100% accurate.
You can make a rough estimate using the CEFR proficiency levels and its self-assessment grid. Be honest about your level here and it’ll help you get the most out of your English reading practice. 2. Set clear goals Good goal setting is important for language learning because goals have such a huge effect on motivation. If you set unrealistic goals and you miss the target, your motivation takes a hit. So make sure you set realistic goals. One of the most popular frameworks is SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals. For example, set yourself a goal of reading a specific number of pages or chapters each day, learning a set number of new vocabulary words per week, or trying out a new genre or style of content each month. Only choose goals that you know you can commit to. But don’t make them too easy. Getting the balance right can be tricky. Make your goals possible to achieve but challenging enough that when you achieve them, you get a sense of accomplishment. 3. Choose the right materials Choose materials that match your goals, level, and interests. If you enjoy fiction, for example, read graded readers of novels. If you’re studying English for work, read online business news. By choosing subjects that match your interests and needs it’s easier to stay motivated. Also, be careful about the difficulty of texts. Choose materials that are at — or slightly above — your current reading level. Again, it should be challenging but not so difficult that it causes frustration.

But you should read a variety of texts, such as books, newspapers, magazines, and online and blog articles. They all have different types of vocabulary and writing styles so you get a well-rounded and comprehensive reading practice. 5. Engage with different genres It’s good to read a bunch of different genres too. Explore fiction, non-fiction, science fiction, fantasy, biographies, histories, investigative journalism, etc. By mixing things up like this, you keep your practice sessions fresh and interesting. Each genre also introduces you to different lexicons, themes, styles, and structures.
