while reading hey friends teacher Prix here to help you talk to anyone anywhere
anytime in English thanks for coming back on another video and if you are new
around here hey thanks for giving me the opportunity to teach you and if you
enjoy this video I have many other ones so make sure to subscribe step
number one find a good source okay you know one big problem students have when
they start reading is they just grab any book you know they just go and buy one
book that is very long or they just go online and they go to New York Times and
they find this really long article that's very complex and they just think
they're going to read it no that's not what's going to happen so if you are
feeling a little demotivated if you are feeling a little bit discouraged it's
probably because you are reading the wrong material okay that's why it's very
important that you choose your source well one good way to do that is to find
a graded readers okay what is this these are books that are specifically for
English learners for people who study English you will see the book
and the level you are supposed to be in order to understand that book okay on my
blog you will find a post where I talk about five books you can read in English
okay I intend to make more posts about books you can read that are graded okay
so that you can have a better understanding and a more efficient
experience so graded readers will help you find books will help you read in
English and will help you learn because it's appropriate for your level so all
you gotta do is discover your level and based on that find graded reader
books that respect your level and check my blog so that you can find some
suggestions already I have suggest for beginners and pre-intermediate step
number two RRWL Priscilla are you kidding me what's that RRWL well
that's my secret sequence read read write learn reading in English is not
only about reading ok many English students try reading in English as if
they were reading in their mother language just grabbing an article and
like okay let's do this I'm sorry to break it to you but that won't work
don't expect to have the same skills as you have in your mother tongue that's
why I say read read write learn you have to be able to write about what you read
that's a good way to know if you could understand what you read or not by
writing the things you can remember okay you don't need to write everything but
the most important details the pieces of information that you were able to
understand that's how you learn through reading because you are applying this
knowledge into other aspects of the language you're using the vocabulary you
learn you are explaining the the information you have just read that's a
good way to read so read read again then you write about it the main important
facts you learned from this article and only then you really learn from reading
step number three combine one subject you are reading with different exercises
if you're reading about arts okay let's suppose you are reading about
arts watch a video about arts listen to a podcast about arts study vocabulary
about arts talk to someone about arts that's how your brain will start to
make connections between the subjects reading is just one part of it so for
one subject you choose you have to read about it write about it listen about
watch about it and talk about it as I said before reading is one part of it
but definitely a very important one do you like to read yes if you do what kind
of book do you like to read I want to see your answer here in the comments
thank you so much and I'll see you next time bye
