As a teacher I consider READING the most important skill to improve the acquisition of a new language. I give you some steps  to follow:

•  Make a habit of reading regularly. Read as many English books, newspapers and magazines as you can get your hands on.
  
• Reading should be fun, so make sure the texts you choose are not too too difficult for you
• Try reading things more than once
  
• Concentration and attention to detail are essential to active reading and comprehension.
• You must locate the main idea of each paragraph
  
• Read the paragraph more than once
  
• Identify the topic - usually the idea that is repeated once or twice
• Find the main idea - the sentence that summarizes the details
• Look for the supporting details: key words, small groups of words - make sure the details refer to the same main point
• Now underline the main idea
• Write notes while reading.
  

    WHY DOES THE MAIN IDEA HELP US  TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE READ?
    In Fiction, it says what the story is almost about. In non- fiction, what the author wants me to know about the topic. The first and the last sentence in a test can give you a clue.

    Vocabulary is central to English language learning because without sufficient vocabulary you cannot understand others or express your own ideas. Think of your vocabulary as your “communication toolbox": every word is a tool, ready to be used at the right time.
    Here you have a poster where you have strategies to study the new vocabulary you're learning. ENJOY!
