Learning how to read English well can be an important task. But it’s something you’ll have to do on your language learning journey. Reading well in English is useful for many reasons, including but not limited to taking tests. These tips are for you!

___3___

___4___
Reading can both introduce you to new words and teach you how to use them. Many words in English are often used together in a similar way. Reading groups of words, or words that go together, will help you better understand how to use your new vocabulary.
___5___
