Tips for starting to read in English
Not sure how to get started? Here are some basic tips:

Find a book you've already read : The first time you tackle a "real" novel, it's best to find one you've already read in Spanish so you can be sure you don't lose the thread. You can also look for a bilingual edition, but in that case don't look at the Spanish text unless you really need to.
Read for pleasure . To learn through reading, it is essential that you enjoy reading. If you are a fan of romance novels, don't force yourself to read science fiction in English, and if you really don't like a book, don't feel guilty about looking for another one.
Don't look up the dictionary while reading . Interrupting your reading every minute will turn it from a pleasure to a boring homework assignment . If you really need to, you can write down the words you don't understand and look them up later. But in that case, try to use a monolingual dictionary, that is, one with the definitions in English instead of the translation.
