It is frequent to find students who struggle with developing reading skills, especially at an academic level. Students learning English as their second language may struggle not only to decode and construct meaning from a text, but also in acquiring the ability to obtain and analyze information.

Many of the difficulties experienced by students of English as a second language are related to an idea that they must know all words in a text in order to understand it. This conception forces students to spend a good amount of time working in each sentence, trying to translate each word and, thereafter, developing a negative feeling toward reading. An instrument that can be used to overcome this scenario is to instruct students on reading strategies.

Reading strategies such as skimming, and prediction can be identified as:

Techniques that help readers tackle any difficulty they face when they are trying to get through texts. Whether the issue is a particularly challenging passage, a concentration problem, or even a piece of specific cultural information that is crucial to the correct interpretation of the text. The goal of these strategies is to help the reader read in an accurate, deep, and very detailed way.

Techniques that are aimed toward a more global reading and analysis of the text. The goal is to make the reader ready to comprehend the main aspects of the text and/or to get a general idea of meaning. This can be achieved by paying attention to the text's title, length, and organization. Moreover, it is important to notice its characteristics, figures, tables, and typographical aids. Readers are encouraged to go through the text quickly, without worrying about any word or expressions that they don't recognize.

Techniques that try to approximate conversation skills with reading skills. These techniques consider the little contextual cues that are offered by texts, especially those explored in an academic environment. Therefore, the goal of these strategies is to offer this context to students by previewing reading assignments, offering an overview of the text, and directing students to look for particular information.

Techniques that use practical materials and external support to aid the reader in decoding the text and constructing meaning. Involve using dictionaries, taking notes, highlight, or underline information.

Techniques that help students be better readers by improving their personal feelings towards texts. Such techniques are more preoccupied with the reader’s feeling about language than to the reading act itself. It involves procedures such as meditation, analysis and journal writing.
