Reading to Learn English Vocabulary


Reading is the best way to improve your vocabulary! The context of articles, stories, and
conversations helps you figure out and understand the meaning of English words in the text that
are new to you. Reading also provides repetition of vocabulary words you have already learned
to help you remember them.

Reading comprehension is easier if you already know the keywords in the reading. This is one
reason that new vocabulary is presented and practiced at the beginning of each USA Learns unit.
You learn the meaning and practice the pronunciation of the most important words that you will
later read in video scripts and reading lessons.

Reading to Learn English in the 1st English Course


We say a picture is worth a thousand words. Pictures are an important aid to comprehension for
students who are just beginning to learn English. In the 1st English Course reading activities, the
sentences are short with some key vocabulary. The picture helps you with comprehension and to
learn English words that might be new. You’ll hear the pronunciation of all the words on the
screen when you click the Listen button. A good learning strategy is to listen to the speaker
several times as you read along with the text.
