How This Method Works
1st time: Read once and words and phrases that you don't know. DON'T look up any words in the dictionary. I suggest you use a bright marker, red or arange, and make the words stick out as much as possible.
2nd and 3rd times: Read two more times, but DON'T look up any words yet. The purpose at this stage is to discover new words that you don't know. Again, circle any words and phrases you don't know.
4th time: Read once more and double-circle the words that bother you. You should think about the meaning of each word each time you read. Try to guess the meaning based on the context and then look up the words that you have double circied.
5th, 6th and 7th times: Read three more times(aloud if possible). This time, focus more on meaning. Don't stop reading even if you wonder about the word that you circled once.
After you've finished the section or page, go back and look the unknown words up - if they bother you.
8th, 9th and 10th times: Read the passage three more times to youself at 200 words per minute. This is the speed that fast speakers speak at. If you can read at this speed, it will help your listening skills.
One more step: After one month or a couple of months, re-read what you have previously read. It will refresh your memory and help you to learn those and sentence structures even better.
