the story don't worry if you don't understand every word you can look up the words you don't know later the most important thing is to understand what is happening in the story at first reading might feel slow but don't worry the more you read the faster you will become just keep going try to read every day even if it's just for 10 minutes the more you practice the better you will get when you come across a word you don't know don't skip it try to figure out the meaning from the context look at the other
words in the sentence and think about what makes sense if you still don't understand the word look it up in a dictionary you can also ask someone for help sometimes when I didn't understand a word I would guess what it meant by looking at the other words in the sentence for example if I read she put the book on the table I knew the word put meant place even if I didn't know it at first this helped me understand the story and learn new words another good idea is to read out loud when you read
