learn more vocabulary, you can read stories, news, books or what you like to
read, this helps you to expand the lexicon and understand the text much
faster.

with the main idea. But if we go back to read the details that were
overlooked, they will be more obvious after the second reading.
 4. Make summaries and schemes. This is a good key to improve reading
comprehension, in addition to reading is important the interaction with the
text, when making the summary you are also practicing written expression,
grammar and vocabulary. You can write your opinion with your own words
to test your understanding.

idea in general of what happens in the story

yourself the following questions: Are there words in bold or italics?
• What names are mentioned in the text?
• Is there a lot of dialogue?

much you understood.
