What is most likely to affect your success at school or at a job？The ability to read well.And that goes for your kids，too.The poor literacy (读写能力) of our society has been a main concern of educators for a while now，and yet things are not getting better.

　　In most cases，how well we learn to read will depend largely on our exposure (接触) to language as children.If we hear people around us talking about all kinds of subjects as children，we naturally pick up the words and phrases they use.If we pick up a lot of words，we will learn to read better.

　　Here are my several suggestions for reading improvement.

　　Read about things that interest you.If you are interested in what you are reading about，the words will come alive，and you will understand better. The more you read，the better you will become at reading.Just get started and it will become a habit，as long as you are interested in what you are reading.

　　Read something that is at your level or just a little difficult for you.Read material that you find easy to read，or just a little challenging.Looking up many unknown words in a dictionary is dull，and the results of the dictionary search are quickly forgotten.

　　If you have trouble reading，listen first.If you can hear the new words and phrases that you are reading，you will have an easier time understanding and remembering them.Hearing the rhythm of someone reading a text will help your own reading.

　　Don't worry about what you don't understand.Most of your reading should be for pleasure. You can enjoy reading without understanding all of what you read.You may even understand some things in your own personal way.
