Reading Comprehension

When you read, it is important to develop strategies to help you understand what you read. Without a good grasp of these different strategies, being an efficient reader becomes difficult or impossible.

This interactive resource explains how students can improve their reading comprehension skills using different strategies, what to do with new vocabulary and how to better understand a text. The theory behind improving reading comprehension is backed up with a number of practical activities which give students practice with these skills.

This resource was designed for Foundation Year English as a Second Language students, although it could be used by any high school students. It can be used as a stand-alone self-study resource or to supplement classroom teaching.
