How to improve reading

If you are reading in Chinese

First, develop the habit of reading in a planned, purposeful and sequential manner, so that the knowledge gained will be systematic, organic and practical. overall knowledge. The reading method of reading a book as long as it is useful or not, reading this today, reading that tomorrow, and reading a hammer here and there, can only be a waste of time and gain little, and must be corrected.

Second, the books planned to be read should be classified so that "intensive reading" and "coarse reading" can be combined. If all books are read with the "chew slowly" method, you will read very little, which will narrow the knowledge and make it "crude"; but if you read every book "voraciously", even if you read a lot, you will not be able to read it. It is "miscellaneous" because it is floating but not deep. Therefore, reading must be classified to combine "crude" and "fine". As for which books should be read intensively and which books should be read roughly, it should be determined according to each person's actual situation. But generally speaking, textbooks on basic knowledge should be read intensively, while reference books can be more extensive.

Third, when reading, you must be good at thinking and dare to question, so as to deeply understand its spiritual essence. The ancient people’s experience in reading tells us: Those who doubt are the opportunity for enlightenment. A little doubt leads to small progress; a great doubt leads to great progress. Only if you are good at asking questions and thinking carefully while reading, can you go deep and achieve the purpose of reaching from here to there, from the outside to the inside, eliminating the false and retaining the true, and truly mastering its elite.

If you strictly follow these three aspects, you will develop good reading habits and greatly improve your reading ability. At that time, you will not only be able to "read thousands of books", but also "read more than ten thousand books".

Reading has always been at the top of the four major Chinese abilities, and is recognized by the Chinese community as the "top priority" of Chinese quality education. Therefore, many Chinese teachers regard "how to improve students' reading ability" as a topic of their own research and exploration.

1. Cultivate students’ good reading habits.

Ye Shengtao said: "What is education? In a simple word, it is to develop good habits." It can be seen that good study habits are the prerequisite for successful learning. Junior high school students do not have a deep understanding of "reading". They simply think that reading means just reading without thinking or taking it seriously, so they have not developed good reading habits. Please take a look. There are many famous and excellent works in the current Chinese language textbooks, which have been passed down for a long time and make you feel that they are always read and updated. But why are students indifferent to this? In teaching, we often find that a considerable number of students are confused or intimidated by the reading materials when preparing to read. The reason is that they have not developed good reading habits. They have been immersed in a single and mechanical reading teaching atmosphere where teachers talk and students listen for a long time, and develop inertia in reading. Many students mistakenly believe that in Chinese class they only need to listen carefully to the teacher's explanation. In response to this situation, as a Chinese teacher, especially a junior middle school Chinese teacher, we must guide students to develop good reading habits and cultivate their habit of actively thinking and discovering problems from reading.

I just started. I prepared every lesson in detail and spoke clearly in class. However, there is no time for students to think in class. Over time, students develop the bad habit of relying on the teacher to tell answers without thinking. When doing exercises, it is also the content of the textbook. If they have been explained in class, they will do it. If they have not been explained, they will not do it. For extracurricular reading questions, they are even more helpless. Later, I found out the reason, mainly because I did not cultivate students' reading habits and the habit of independent thinking.

2. Correct reading motivation and stimulate interest.

Confucius said: "Those who know are not as good as those who are good at it, and those who are good at it are not as good as those who are happy." Yang Zhenning said: "The real secret of success is interest." This fully illustrates the role of interest in learning and work. importance. Junior high school students read books based on interest. For those who are interested, they will read secretly even if the teacher prohibits them from reading. For those who are not interested, they will not read no matter how much the teacher encourages them to read. And their motivation for reading is only to pursue the storyline. This is why among teenage students, boys like to read martial arts novels and girls like to read romance novels.

Aiming at the inducements of students' reading psychology, we start by inducing students' reading motivation, correcting their reading motivation, and stimulating their curiosity for continuous reading, thereby stimulating their reading interest and improving their reading ability.

To induce students' motivation to read and stimulate their interest in reading, it is necessary to let students clarify their goals, so that students' reading thinking can be active in the created problem situations and mobilize the enthusiasm of students' thinking. For example, when teaching unit reading, teachers can first introduce the reading knowledge and requirements of the unit, propose the characteristics and key points of the text in this unit, summarize the reading goals of lecture reading and self-reading in this unit, and arouse their desire to acquire new knowledge. For another example, when teaching a single text, short stories, famous quotes, or real objects can be used to introduce students into a certain situation and stimulate students' interest in reading. When teaching the lesson "Squirrel", I brought a house mouse to the classroom. I asked the students to observe the house mouse first, and at the same time asked them to talk about the living habits of the house mouse. Then I introduced a new lesson and asked questions: 1. How do squirrels and house mice interact with each other? What are the differences in appearance? 2. Are squirrels as annoying as house mice? Why? 3. In what order does the author introduce squirrels? In this way, the reading goal is very clear, and students' desire to read will become stronger. Through this observation, question and answer, and discussion, the teaching tasks of this class were successfully completed.

Of course, design issues must take into account students’ actual abilities. Because students are very competitive and have strong self-esteem, the questions designed should be of moderate difficulty so that students can answer them easily and have a sense of success. Someone once said: "When students achieve their goals, their motivation and ability will soar." Therefore, success is the most effective motivation to stimulate students' interest.

3. Use writing to promote reading and improve reading ability.

Practice tells us: "Reading teaching and writing teaching are closely integrated." Only by reading good articles can we write good articles, but writing can react on reading. Writing can promote reading, making reading deeper and more thorough. conscious.

Many experienced teachers may have tried to arrange students to write such compositions before teaching certain texts. Many students may feel unable to write. When students have difficulties, teachers guide them to study the text and learn the writing methods in the text. In order to write a good composition, students must read the text carefully. Moreover, after receiving the teacher's guidance, students will suddenly become enlightened, their interest will double, and they will be able to read it and use it smoothly. This practice of allowing students to read texts with the task of writing can greatly improve reading efficiency and thereby improve reading ability. For example, when teaching the lesson "Squirrel", we can also do this and first ask students to write an article introducing small animals. Because this is the first time that first-year junior high school students are exposed to expository texts, most students are not sure how to introduce them. At this time, the teacher was there to guide them, asking them to read the text carefully and learn how to vividly describe the little squirrel and in what order (this is the focus of the lesson). In this way, students will definitely read the text carefully with these questions in mind. Once the student's composition is written, the learning focus of the lesson will be grasped, and the reading ability will be improved accordingly. Therefore, when studying this text again, students will be able to master it, and the purpose of our teaching and learning activities will be achieved.

In addition, writing reflections and comments are also ways to promote reading through writing. The post-reading review is to read the text first and then write down your thoughts and feelings. The review is to analyze the pros and cons, gains and losses, and highs and lows of the content and form of the text itself. Their premise must be "reading". Only by reading and understanding can you write well. Only by reading deeply can you write thoroughly, and only then can you write new ideas.

In short, although it is difficult to improve students' reading ability, there are still methods to follow. As long as our teachers do more research, practice more, summarize more, guide properly, and teach well, students' reading ability can be improved on a large scale. Therefore, in the near future, the problem of low reading ability of middle school students will definitely be greatly improved.

If you want to achieve excellent results in the English college entrance examination, you must strengthen reading training in your daily life. This training should include the following parts:

English Language abilities include the abilities of listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translating. For most students, the main purpose of learning English in the future is to understand English, obtain the latest information, use it in our work and research, and improve efficiency. , to make greater contributions. Therefore, among various English tests, English reading tests have received more and more attention, and the difficulty has also increased year by year. This is a clear trend not only in our country’s college entrance examination, but also in IELTS and TOEFL tests around the world. In fact, the English reading in the current college entrance examination has far exceeded the current high school textbooks, and some have even reached the level of college level four.

A lot of reading. The main reason why our English teaching has not been very successful in the past decades is that we stick to textbooks and do not have a considerable amount of reading to match. According to statistics, adding up all the text contents of the previous six-year middle school English textbooks is only the amount of one daily newspaper. No matter how much you read these language volumes, it is impossible to master a language. Therefore, now the new English The syllabus requires junior high school graduates to read 300,000 words in English, and high school graduates to read 600,000 words. Teaching measures ensure that students must meet this reading level, because the English textbooks we read in school are essentially just Intensive reading, so what we want to add should be extensive reading, what should we read?

I recommend reading the following four aspects: 1. Choose an English book that interests you and that you can understand without looking up the dictionary after turning the first few pages. Start by choosing some simple or abbreviated books. Readings, and then select some original works.

2. Subscribe to an English newspaper. You can start by ordering one for middle school students, such as "Shanghai Student Post". As your proficiency improves, you can switch to "Shanghai Star" and then "Shanghai Daily” or “China Daily”. Newspapers have a large vocabulary and cover all aspects, which is very helpful for expanding vocabulary and obtaining information. 3. Choose an English book with English exercises that is similar to or slightly more difficult than your textbook. The characteristic of this type of book is that the articles in the book are short, interesting and highly readable, because there are comprehension exercises after the articles. Readers can do these exercises after reading the articles to check whether and how much they have understood. . 4. Read everything in English. For example: when we read newspapers such as "Liberation Daily" and "News Evening News", we often see recruitment advertisements written in English by foreign-funded companies, English instructions on the packaging when eating, and English notices when walking into hotels..., In reality, English has penetrated into every corner of our lives. If you are willing, you can learn it at any time.

Reading articles quickly is like looking at the woods. When standing in front of the woods, one cannot just stare at a tree, or even just stare at the leaves on the tree. Look at them one by one until the end. , or leaf by leaf. Of course we need to look at the leaves, but we also need to look at the whole tree, and even more so the whole forest. We must quickly expand our field of vision, so that we can have a complete understanding of the forest. The same is true for reading articles. How can we enhance our understanding of reading articles? That is to learn to read quickly when reading article material. Speed ??reading is the comprehensive use of reading skills to obtain as much information as possible through logical thinking while reading quickly. During the entire speed reading process, you must concentrate your thoughts highly and keep your brain in a highly excited state. If you read slowly and word by word, you will often read the entire text and feel confused. You know all the words, but you don't know what the article is about. Therefore, current English tests all have a reading speed requirement.

Overall understanding We often have this situation: we can understand the sentences, but we are not impressed after reading the article. This involves the overall understanding of the framework structure of the article. How to learn to understand the article as a whole? First of all, we should pay attention to the title of the article and the first sentence of the article. Because the title of the article is the theme of the article, the content of the article revolves around the theme. The first sentence is very important because it is the introduction of the article and points out the author's intention and background in writing the article.

The first sentence of each subsequent paragraph is also very important, because the first sentence of each paragraph is actually the topic sentence of each paragraph, and then it is stated or discussed, gradually expanded, given examples, and finally the content of the paragraph is summarized in one sentence. Summary, so the last sentence of each paragraph is often the concluding sentence of the paragraph, and the last sentence of the entire article is often the conclusion of the article or the author's intention in writing this article. Therefore, when we read an article, we must develop this habit: when you see the title of the article, pause and think about how you would write this article, or guess what this article might be about. Then you will read on with interest. Then, when reading, pay special attention to the first and last sentences of each paragraph, and remember them carefully. When reading the full text, clearly print the main contents of the full text in your mind one by one like watching a movie, and remember it. I not only grasped the main content, arguments, and arguments of the full text, but also learned the author's logical reasoning techniques and the framework structure of the entire article. This is the most important thing in writing an article, that is, the conception of the article.

Accumulating words is necessary to improve reading level. Vocabulary and phrase volume are very important. For example: building a house requires bricks and tiles, and vocabulary is the bricks and tiles for reading English. There is no considerable amount of English vocabulary. Reading English is out of the question. So to improve our reading level, we must learn to accumulate words. We might as well do this: after reading the whole text, read it a second time, and try to guess the new words based on the context as much as possible. If you still can’t guess the meaning, look up the new words in a dictionary, and then copy them into a small book that you can carry with you. superior. When you have free time every day, take out this small book and memorize it. This is not time-consuming, but the effect is very good. Due to frequent exposure and repeated memorization, the vocabulary increases quickly.
