THE NEED FOR READING ABILITY IN ENGLISH AND WAYS HOW
TO DEVELOP
Abstract. The necessity to increase reading skills in students' daily lives is taken into account, along with the reasons for improving reading proficiency in English and exciting ways to do so.
Key words: comprehension, students, reasons, proficiency, activities.
Introduction. English reading proficiency is an essential skill for everyone, not just students, but also for everyone looking to further their lives. A student can broaden his or her viewpoint by reading new literature written in English, and if the student wishes to excel in his or her subject, reading literature written in another language will be beneficial. Reading a wide range helps readers quickly recognise what type of text they're looking at, guess who wrote it, for whom and why - and predict where useful information is likely to be. As well as improving comprehension, this helps learners read more efficiently.
Good readers read texts in a variety of ways, taking note of the layout and headings and skimming rapidly to acquire an overall sense of the text before reading more intently or scanning for particular information. A good reader is often able to guess the meaning of an unknown word. Learners who know to look for clues in the text are more able to work out the meaning of new words and continue reading independently. For example, if a student is lazy, a teacher can teach her or him how to look at the surrounding text, the word's position in the sentence, what type of word it is and how prefixes and suffixes are used. It helps a student read without anxiety.
Reading comprehension is the ability to comprehend or understand, what you are reading. This is an intentional and active part of reading and takes place before, during and after you read something. By being able to comprehend what you are reading, you can extract meaning from the text and better realize what the author is trying to convey.
Effective reading skills can enhance both your personal and professional lives as well as your enjoyment of reading as a whole. Your understanding in some subjects can be increased, and you can pick up new knowledge and skills more quickly if you know how to interpret a text. In addition, if a student knows
how to speak or think in English, he or she becomes so confident when he wants to give feedback in relation to any themes.

So how can this ability be developed?
For this, I recommend you a series of exercises:
Activity 1:
Flash reading - reading a brief article or story at a short time. Use a brief passage from any kind of books or the articles which belongs to your selected field. After you read the work at brief time, ask yourself to identify the following: the genre, the audience, the author(s), and the purpose of the piece.
The method helps you possess your own opinion and it is not boring for you for the first time. Teachers should also use this method during their classes with their students. This activity assists the teacher in getting the class more interested or valuable.
Activity 2:
This is a team work in order to utilize in classes for English teachers. Get students to search for words in a contest to improve scanning abilities. In order to
score points, partners compete with one another to find a word or piece of information. Students should be paired appropriately, with consideration given to their reading levels, and then given a text.
Prior to asking them to discover a certain word quickly, instruct them to count the instances of a word of your choosing in the text. By providing synonyms for terms, you can up the difficulty level. For instance, if you want students to discover the word "overwhelmed" in the text, ask them to find a synonym for "busy" "overcrowded". Activity 3: Write a summary
After perusing a content, you'll be able to compose a short summary of what you've read. This will fair be one or two of sentences that display the most thoughts. Composing a outline could be an extraordinary way to fortify what the content was around as well as utilize unused lexicon in context. I like to type in rundowns down in my notebook and after that underline the modern lexicon that I learned from perusing the content. Composing outlines will too assist you take note any parts of the content merely didn't completely get it, so you'll be able go back and re-read.
Conclusion. The most important factor in reading is that the interest to reading something and a continuous work. This process always benefits and expands every reader's horizon. If you or your student faces difficulties when they read passages, you should give books or articles in which they are interested, because unless a student wants to read or scan it, reading ability does not increase. So every teacher should take into consideration all of the students' interests and hobbies, for example, the teacher may ask them what kind of things or hobbies they do like carrying out in their free time.
