  2. Dear fellows, as you know the reading skill is indispensable if we want to acquire meaningful vocabulary. In the same way, it helps us to develop our overall, and detailed comprehension of reading texts. On this reading blog, you have listed 5 websites to practice the reading skill, each one of them with their own description. If I had to choose one web resource to practice this receptive skill, I will choose the website called Est of the web. The reason for my decision is based on the quality of the short texts that it has. In addition, it contains inferential, and evaluate questions that are very useful to encourage the critical thinking of the students. Finally, it provides the teachers with valuable resources for teachers. I am sure that this website will help me a lot in the future thanks a lot.

  5. Hello dear classmates. I was checking the list of 5 websites to practice the reading skills you have made and it is really cool because your descriptions helped me to choose one of them. The one I liked the most is "Lit2Go" because of the wide variety of audiobooks and reading comprehension activities about different topics that are suitable for all the ages from A1 to C2. Something I loved about this website is that reading materials are downloadable in PDF format so it is really useful to practice in our houses without any internet connection.
