If you want to learn how to ride a bike, you have to get on the bike as many times as possible u【6】 you can ride skillfully. It works the same way with reading. If you want to improve your reading, try to read as m【7】as you can. When you finish reading your first book, take another book and do the same. If you are going out, take a magazine, a book, an article or something e【8】to read. When you are reading, try to understand w【9】message the writer is giving to you.

So, parents should help to get their children to read as early as possible. Studies have s 【10】 that reading to your unborn child is very good. In this way, your child will like reading later.

Reading is always a wonderful time. Good books are good friends.
