This article explores different strategies and approaches to improve reading comprehension skills in English language learning. The article begins by emphasizing the importance of reading comprehension in language learning, emphasizing its role in improving vocabulary, grammar, and general language skills. Specific techniques are then covered to help students understand and interpret texts more effectively. One key strategy discussed is active reading, which involves engaging with the text through annotations, summarizing main ideas, and asking questions to deepen understanding. This approach encourages students to think critically about the material they are studying and actively participate in the learning process. In addition, it is suggested to use contextual clues to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words or phrases, and this develops independent problem-solving skills. Another important approach highlighted in the article is pre-reading strategies such as previewing titles, captions, and images to gain deeper understanding of the text. This method helps students make connections between prior knowledge and new information, improving overall understanding. It also emphasizes the importance of practice and repetition in developing reading comprehension skills. Through regular exposure to a variety of texts and genres, students can expand their vocabulary, improve their understanding of sentence structures, and improve their ability to identify main ideas and supporting details.
