1.
Choose your reading material carefully, so that you see suitable
vocabulary being used in context.
2.
Start off with reading material which is not too overwhelming.
either in size, or with vocabulary which is too difficult to
guess the meaning from the context.
3. When reading a new book, read
one page without looking at the dictionary, then summarise that
page in your mind before continuing to the next page. If you
cannot summarise it satisfactorily, look up a maximum of ten
words in the dictionary to confirm that your guess is right. If
you cannot do this, look for an easier book.
