How can I improve my English reading comprehension?

Practice reading daily, highlight key details, build vocabulary in context, and practice answering inference and theme questions. Reviewing annotated passages helps build structured comprehension.

What are inference questions in reading comprehension?

Inference questions require you to read between the lines, using evidence and clues from the passage to deduce details not explicitly stated.

Skimming & Scanning Arena

Choose a mode below to build advanced reading skills. Practice grasping the gist under pressure, or scan texts to locate specific keywords as fast as possible.

Skimming Practice

You will have exactly **30 seconds** to read a passage before it is hidden. After that, you must answer 3 comprehension questions about the main idea and tone. Helps build fast structural analysis.

Scanning Practice

The passage stays fully visible, but you are prompted to locate and **click a target word** (e.g. 'chloroplasts') as fast as possible. A stopwatch measures your speed down to the millisecond!
