There are different purposes for reading, which indicates that not always our approach to the text (reading form) is the same. For example, when leafing through a magazine, we give you a "read over" to the different articles that appear there to see what it is about each of them. What we get is an overview of each text. If what you're looking for is a phone number in a guide, the way we approach the text is completely different. We no longer read "a bird", but we seek specific information carefully.

Let's talk about strategies to improve reading comprehension in English and thus make this more productive activity but recommended:

Find a confortable pleace to read:

• Get rit of distractions.

• Focusing on the purpose of reading.

• Take rest periods to avoid boredom.

Ignores words that are not important.

When you read will find new words they do not understand. The first thing you have to do is determine the importance of the word in the sentence. If they see that the word is not important to deduce its meaning or just ignórenla. Do not use the dictionary every time you see a new word because it prevents fluency when reading.

Use context to guess the meaning dela word.

Suppose you have found a word that is important. Before using this dictionary, try to guess its meaning. See the context in which the word is used. Quickly determine if a verb, noun, preposition etc. to make easier the deduction. Once you have an idea you can consult a dictionary.

Scanning to find specific information.

"Scanning" is a technique in which the reader does not try to absorb all the information they seek specific information. To scan correctly one must start at the superiory part quickly go line by line.

Skimming.

It is very similar to "scanning" as it reads quickly. The difference is that in "skimming" one is not looking for a specific information but one tries to understand and get the main idea of the text without paying attention to detail.

Extensive reading.

This strategy is used to obtain a general understanding and includes reading long texts.

Intensive reading.

Here one pays attention to every detail. One is focused on understanding every word. It is very common in reading contracts or reports of paramount importance.

Lean something that is interesting.

Forced reading is something that does not contribute much in learning. Choose something that is causing interest and curiosity as this will make reading easier to understand.
