How To Improve Your Reading Skills in 4 Easy Steps – Language Learners
Want To Know How To Improve Reading Skills, Language Learners? (You’re in the right place!) I adore teaching languages and often my students ask me for suggestions on how to improve reading skills and develop their vocabulary. I like the question, since reading is one of the four main skills when learning a language and you’re always going to need words to communicate!

21 Must-Use Reading Activities For Your Language Lessons
Fun Pre-Reading and Post-Reading Activities for All Language Classrooms I love language lessons which involve an element of reading. This is because there are so many opportunities for learning and improving language acquisition with topic-related texts. Reading activities are the perfect starting point to learn rich topic-related vocabulary (adjectives, nouns, verbs etc), pick up new grammar structures, steal ‘star phrases’ and ultimately improve comprehension and improve language acquisition skills. According to Moeller & Meyer (1995), reading, even at a slow pace exposes students to more sentences, grammar, and new vocabulary per minute than the average short class, TV show, or song. So, if you are in a rut with how you present…
