Reading Skill

Welcome again to the learning English with EAL students, in this part we will see how to improve your reading skill. As students we are always in a learning process, depend on us if we take advantage of every resoruce avaliable around us. Most of the people with spanish as a native language, try to get the meaning of every sentence just translating to spanish in the same order as we see the words, that´s a common mistake we make, but it´s easy to get better.
