 INTRODUCTION

With the activity of reading comprehension it is very important to learn a language. To

improve reading comprehension, you should read the appropriate book according to the
level of English that everyone has, starting with easy-to-read texts to gradually increase
until you gradually reach a better level.
 ACTIVITY 6: READING COMPREHENSION
Improve reading comprehension in English.

1. Search for a quiet place to read, avoiding at all costs the

distractions, trying to be focused on reading without any

type of interruptions and, in this way get a greater

assimilation of concepts.

2. Reread the text because when we read a text for the first time we

are left with the main idea. But if we go back to read the details

that were overlooked, they will be more obvious after the second

reading.

3. Visualize is to create our own mental images about what

we are reading.

4. Make a quick reading, it helps us to have a main idea of the text and an idea in

general of what happens in the story.

5. Read daily texts in English, this improves your reading level and

you learn more vocabulary, you can read stories, news, books or

what you like to read, this helps you to expand the lexicon and

understand the text much faster.

 6. Ask yourself questions before, during and after reading.

Examine the text before reading it and ask yourself the following

questions: Are there words in bold or italics?

What names are mentioned in the text?

Is there a lot of dialogue?

Are the paragraphs short or long? After reading the text, answer the following questions

to evaluate how much you understood.

What was the text about?

What were the most important things?

Did something surprise you?

Are there parts that you did not understand?

7. Face the new terms. If you find an unknown word,

underline it so that later you look for the meaning, but if at the

moment you can deduce what it means, ignore it. It is important to

have the ability to understand the general idea of the text without

resorting immediately to the dictionary. After the reading is

finished, you can find out the exact meaning of the new concepts

and form sentences with these words.

 8. Make summaries and schemes. This is a good key to

improve reading comprehension, in addition to reading is important

the interaction with the text, when making the summary you are

also practicing written expression, grammar and vocabulary. You

can write your opinion with your own words to test your

understanding.

9. Read aloud.With this we can practice our

pronunciation and intonation of words, specially
those that we consider to be difficult.

10. Associate words with images.With this method we

can visualize those words with images, which we
can identify in any context.

11. Maintain an adequate rhythm during reading.

Taking adequate time during reading allows us to
understand and analyze the content.

12. Organize a reading group with your friends. These

groups allow us to analyze the content from
different points of view, achieving a better
understand ing of the text.
