How to use this reading log Read, Read, Read. For learners of a second language, one cannot over-accentuate the importance of reading everyday to improve your vocabulary and comprehension of the target language. Quite simply put, the more you expose yourself to the target language through reading, the faster you’ll improve your abilities in that language. This Reading Log has been created to help you keep track of your daily reading as well as provide an archive of your daily readings to be readily used for future reference. Read every day. Schedule some time each day for reading and writing something in English. Ideally this should be a few hours each day, however realistically speaking, 15 to 30 minutes is optimal and easy to work into even the busiest of schedules. Select your reading materials Choose something that interests you. Motivation is the key here and you should select your texts based on subjects that will peak your curiosity and hold your attention. If you’re interested in sports, read the sports column of the newspaper (print or online). If you’re more a literature fan, choose a chapter of a novel that you would like to read in English. Other examples of shorter texts include, but are not limited to: Magazine articles, scientific papers, book and product reviews, blogs, graphic novels, travel logs, breaking news reports, etc. With the wealth of publications made available through the internet, the choices are almost endless. How to proceed: Once you’ve selected your text it’s important that you make the most of the selected material you have in front of you. To help improve your comprehension and increase your vocabulary, follow these steps: A. Read the text first without stopping to look up words. B. Reread the text and underline or highlight words that are unknown or unclear to you. C. Choose only 5 key words to enter into your reading log. D. Summarize the text you have just read in this reading log. Keep this relatively short, no more than the space allotted. E. Give/show your reading log entry to a teacher or a friend to review, or you can explain to them verbally what your reading was about. Enjoy Make reading a pleasure, and use this reading log to chronicle your progress. How many Reading Logs can you complete? How many different varieties of texts can you choose? What new subjects can you explore? How much time per day can dedicate to reading? You only have knowledge to gain!
