Reading with Children

What is the best way to increase my reading speed?

I read very slowly in order to understand and answer questions that are related to the text. Are there any books you may recommend or certain strategies I can follow to overcome this issue.( speed reading) specially in proficiency tests like IELTS/TOEFL.

  1. Read daily, and when you are finished with one, try a harder book, or a book with an expanded vocabulary.
  2. if your reading for the pure purpose the finish fast, the key is to know what you can ignore. if your reading a story who cares if you read slowly it's not going anywhere. Read a few chapters of a book everynight you will get faster. it gets realy interesting when you read many books from the same author.
  3. to practice! take a look at this: http://www.ielts-exam.net/
