Reading is a skill

This means:

 You can train and improve, just like any other skill or sport 

However, you do need to know what it is you should train and improve. Therefore, this LessonUp will provide you with general information on how to become a successful (CITO) reader.  Once you know what you should be training, your efforts will become more effective. 

To become good at reading .......

• READ! 
• A LOT
• And More 
• Anything, books, articles, subtitles of Netflix, news, gossips, 
• Everything 
• And more 

You will be a successful reader if you master the following reading ingredients.
