Reading Links

Use the links to go to different websites that have activities and stories that will improve your reading. Try some of the activites from this page such as the Academic Word List. It is a good idea to have an online dictionary open at the same time you are reading, but only stop to look up definitions after you have tried reading. Guessing meaning from context is important to learning new vocabulary words.Try the CDLP site first!
