Is There a Wrong Way to Read for Fluency? - Yes!

How how should people be reading in order to learn  English? In order to gain fluency? So you feel  

that there's a right way or a wrong way? Or just  different ways? As far as the right way to read,  

um, let's start out with the wrong way. So, I  mentioned my student who had highlighted like  

50 words on one page. Yeah. Um, that's the wrong  way to read, and I have a name for that. I call  

it torture reading. Um, and so it's like you  know, reading...it's basically there's a high  

percentage of noise in the text that doesn't have  any meaning, and that's the wrong way to read. If  

you have a really high motivation, you might  be able to do it, but my experience is that  

if I'm listening or reading something that's  way beyond my level. I actually end up losing  

my motivation, um, so torture reading  is definitely not the way to go.
