Cuando leemos libros o textos más extensos (no los extractos analizados en clase) el objetivo está puesto en disfrutar de la lectura. Y mientras tanto también aprendemos vocabulario y se interiorizan estructuras y colocaciones. Ya sabés: leer es un placer y es una fórmula fantástica de disfrutar con el lenguaje. ¡No lo desaproveches!
In today’s world, reading is basic to everyday life. As children we learn to read, and as adults, we read to learn. We read to learn about the news, to learn about rules, and to learn about how to do things. We also use reading to learn English.
If you want to learn English more quickly, lots of reading is important. The more you read, the more input your brain gets about how the language works. When you read in English, you can improve your grammar and your writing skills at the same time.
Reading is the best way to improve your vocabulary! The context of articles, stories, and conversations helps you figure out and understand the meaning of English words in the text that are new to you. Reading also provides repetition of vocabulary words you have already learned to help you remember them.
In the "Readers and Short Stories" blog you will find a selection articles and news stories from online resources. There are also links to download some readers and short stories. These books are accurately tuned to level and will nourish a sense of achievement and growing confidence from successful reading.
“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons
