Heartland Tips to continue English at Home:
Read interesting things.
Reading helps to improve your grammar and your vocabulary.
Three big tips here:
1. Find something interesting that you really want to read about. This can be a book, a magazine, articles online, blogs, etc. A good book would be the best.
2. Don't worry about understanding every new word, and don’t get frustrated by vocabulary. You don't need to understand everything.
3. Practice GUESSING NEW VOCABULARY FROM CONTEXT. This is super important to help develop your reading skills. DON'T simply use a translator or dictionary; these are bad habits. Instead, take extra time to look at the context of a new word and guess its meaning.
>Start by thinking about prefixes and suffixes.
>Think about the grammar. Is it a noun, a verb, an adjective… is it the subject of a sentence or the object? Etc.
>Think about the overall context of the paragraph or section of what you’re reading.
After you think about it and make a guess, THEN look it up in the dictionary and see how close you were. Don’t worry if your guess wasn’t close; practice will improve your skills here.Heartland Tips to continue English at Home:
