The study of English language reading skills in students

Abstract

An individual's proficiency in reading has a direct impact on their proficiency in listening, speaking, and writing, the four cornerstones of every language. Reading enhances one's mastery of the language, which enables effective communication. As a result, it must be a part of every school's curriculum. Nonetheless, this competency receives little attention in K-12 and higher education. The reading habit is not fostered by students. The purpose of this research is to identify reading habits that students may develop in order to enhance their reading comprehension, retention, and speed when reading in English.
