    Reading is THE best way to improve your English, especially your vocabulary! Find topics that you are interested in or passionate about. This will give you the motivation that you need to understand the reading (new words, new ideas, differing opinions, etc).

    BECOME AN ACTIVE READER! Active readers can skim, scan, read for full comprehension and read critically (make judgements about what you read and the author).

    For Reading Exam practice, please look in the Practice Tests section (main page of Independent Learning).
