READ FASTTTTT
Most low level students read quite slowly in English, and possibly in their own language. Are you fast reader in your own language? Not everyone is. If you are slow reader in your first language. you will be transferring your speed deficiency into your second language, It's not just lack of comprehension either. Often there is physical ' eye on word' problem. You are not seeing the words fast enough.
So,you should certainly aim to read faster in your own language first. How? Practice of course! check out how fast you can read a passage of writing in your own language, and keep aiming to be faster. Do this again and again... and again. Make those eyes travel across the page as fast as possible, while still maintaining sense of what you are reading, This practice for eye movement as much as anything.
When you have improved in your own language, do the same in English passages. Speed speed speed! Get that reading speed up! Make it a game to read as much as you can as fast as you can- at first without any attempt at comprehension. Later you can pay more attention to comprehension - that is when you have improved your physical reading speed. After a month of practice,you will have added a very important reading skill to your list-- speeeeed!
