Description

Welcome to Becoming an Engaged Reader! My name is Cyndi, and I am so excited to share what I’ve worked on for several years with you if you want to start a new journey of effective reading!

Nowadays, both English language learners and native speakers unintentionally undervalue the impact of effective reading. Grammar, sentence structure, mechanics, and writing are all important skills for young people to learn when they are learning English. Learning a language is not about learning the skills firstand then starting to read; it is about gradually improving our reading skills through a lot of meaningful and real-life reading. Native speakers, on the other hand, can quickly sort through a lot of information to find what they need, what interests them, or what fits with what they already know or how they see the world. They neglect to seek out what they are unfamiliar with and attempt to understand concepts that diverge from their original philosophy. This course is for young people (13+) who want to read more, improve their English language skills, and gain a deeper, more varied understanding of the world.

After this course, you will be able to:

Foster a passion for reading and become an engaged reader through reading different kinds of books and short stories, fiction and nonfiction.
Expand your vocabulary and enrich your English expressions.
Summarize, make inferences, analyze characters desires, and motivations, and discuss conflicts and themes.
Evaluate arguments and also provide evidence from your reading material to support your opinions.
Adopt the key reading abilities such as scanning, and skimming, to identify main ideas, literary devices, point of view, and author’s tone and purpose.
