Ways to enjoy good reading

Everybody knows that one of the best ways to learn English is reading. For that, there are different approaches to reach the purpose. Let’s see some of them:

Curl up with a book – to curl up with a book is to seat or lie down comfortably in bed, on the sofa, a puff, or any other calm place with a book in hands and merge into it;

Read aloud to someone – an excellent activity to appreciate with kids is to read aloud to them. Choose a good tittle, perform the story, and have fun with the children.

Audio books and podcasts – an alternative for those who are a bit lazy to read, audio books and podcasts are also an outstanding exercise to enrich your vocabulary;

Do puzzles – although they’re not stories, puzzles challenge your skills and improve the number of words you learn in different levels;

Online articles – good online articles (like this) can provide you familiarity with specific subjects you have been interested in or searched for. They are admirable source of information and usually contain words not so commonly used. 

Skim through a newspaper – here’s a different way to go through a journal once you don’t have much time. You just slide your finger on the surface of the paper focusing on the topics which call your attention.

E-books – If you’re not a fan of paper, e-books are a great solution. You can just download the volume you like in your favorite device.

Reading can really teach you a lot. So, choose the way that suits you better and enjoy one of the most exciting tasks you have to improve your vocabulary.
