strategies of reading in schools 

first of all, we have to create and implement a system based on four basic factors:

1. Library: Students should have access to a library or a wide collection of books with different topics and not only books also movies or other resources in addition to being able to communicate with peers who have the same level in the language and with others at a higher level in order to gain access to more knowledge entries to develop and improve language management.

2. Choice:To avoid boredom in students when reading it is advisable that students have the option to read about interesting topics and that they fit their tastes this in addition to making the reading process enjoyable makes it efficient.

3. feedback

To ensure that knowledge is acquired in the short term and that students understand reading should provide space for the socialization of readings not as an imposition but as a fun way to share opinions and reflections a good idea is to create forums or spaces in which students can express these ideas artistically

4. Time

To avoid overloading and stress generation in students it is important to divide reading spaces and times into short periods of 10 to 15 minutes several times a day instead of having a period of two hours of uninterrupted reading strenuous.
