Usually, I read English novels in my vacation or even during my school times. I like to read English novels and I also read science books having scientific knowledge. This way, you're more likely to enjoy reading, rather than see it as a chore. Think about the genres that you enjoy in your own language and find an equivalent in English.

This book contains lots of short stories, based on fairy tales, all written in rhyme. Holes by Louis Sachar is also a great read. If you like reading about historical events, Anne Holm's I am David is a short story about a boy trying to find his mother during World War 2.

Starting with something like this means you are more likely to finish the book and want to read more.įor more advanced learners, you could try The Hobbit by J.R.R. Dr Seuss writes his books in rhyme and they are all very funny - T he Cat in the Hat is probably his most well-known book. Roald Dahl has written many superb books (Fantastic Mr Fox is my personal favourite!) and Dr Seuss's books are guaranteed to make you laugh. Children's books are a great place to start. Avoid the classics for now - they often use archaic (very old!) English words and can involve complex themes. The key to success is choosing the right book for you.įor beginners, I would recommend starting with something short and simple.
