Everyday English Skills - Reading (Entry Level 3) PDF Print E-mail

Words are all around us – from newspaper stories to bills, letters to road signs, emails to adverts. This course will help you to brush up on the key reading skills that you use every day.

It focuses on four important areas: reading everyday texts, understanding instructions and explanations, filling out forms and different ways of reading.

You’ll learn how to spot clues to help you understand the meaning of a text. You’ll see how tools like chapters and an index can help you to find the information you need quickly and easily. You’ll discover how lists, bullet points, titles and sub-headings can help you when you read instructions and explanations. And you’ll be shown how and when to use different reading skills like scanning and skimming.

As you move through the course, mini tests let you check that you’ve understood the learning and give you the chance to practise your new reading skills in realistic, everyday situations.
