Welcome to our reading section in the Orixe English Department site.

Here you are som tips for reading more effectively. After reading them choose one of the menus on the left and one of the options inside.

1.   Choose your reading material carefully, so that you see suitable vocabulary being used in context.

2.   Start off with reading material which is not too overwhelming. either in size, or with vocabulary which is too difficult to guess the meaning from the context.

3.  When reading a new book, read one page without looking at the dictionary, then summarise that page in your mind before continuing to the next page.  If you cannot summarise it satisfactorily, look up a maximum of ten words in the dictionary to confirm that your guess is right.  If you cannot do this, look for an easier book.
