Improving Reading Skills at Home

Many people need help with reading. If you can’t read well, many things in life are so very hard!

Many people get stuck when they read. They make the same mistakes over and over.

The way to improve your reading is to stop making the same mistakes. You can do this by breaking reading down into smaller steps.

Here is a way to make reading easier.

Getting Started

Before you start reading, you need to decide something. What will you be reading about?

Look at the title of what you’re reading. The title (name) tells you what you’re reading about.

Remember What You Know

You’ve decided what you will be reading about. Now, it’s time to remember what you already know. Take out a sheet of paper.

• List three things that you already know about this topic.
• List three words you think you may come across while you are reading.

Remembering what you already know will improve your reading skills.
