Being a skilled reader with an ability to concentrate well and having a good reading speed is essential since there are reading passages on the reading, speaking, and writing sections of the TOEFL iBT. If you cannot perceive main ideas from supporting ideas and if you cannot separate important details from unimportant ones, it will be difficult for you to succeed on the TOEFL iBT. So to help Suravi succeed, she was recommended to review Michael’s reading section.
By cause of Michael’s reading section, Suravi learned effective reading skills like: discerning main ideas and details, understanding vocabulary from context, understanding the organization of reading passages including transitions, and having the ability to make inferences. Michael’s first lesson teaches you how to read academic passages and how to take notes of these passages so you will be able to create organized responses during the integrated writing and integrated speaking tasks.. The next few lessons are designed to familiarize you with TOEFL iBT like: vocabulary, pronoun referent, paraphrase, insert a sentence, details, negative detail, implied detail, infer rhetorical purpose, summary chart, and schematic table questions. Because of this, Suravi learned to become a knowledgeable reader.
In addition, as far as reading goes, Suravi’s had the assignment of reading 40 minutes daily. Because of this, Suravi’s really improved her reading comprehension skills and ended up with a reading speed of 286 words per minute. All in all, with effective lessons, multiple speed reading tests, and by reading every day, Suravi improved her reading speed and ended up scoring very well in the reading section of the TOEFL iBT. Engaging in critical thinking you will better prepare you not only for the reading section but also for the integrated speaking and writing sections of the TOEFL iBT.
