Re: Tips for Reading
According to my learning experience, I think there are several reading tips : first is the ability to guess the meaning of words based on the context, which can help you perceive the meaning of the paragraph; the second is the ability of parallel-reading. Reading with questions and key words helps you to grasp the answers and improve reading efficiency.

Re: Tips for Reading
I tell my pupils to read the entire sentence if they don't comprehend a word or words, the paragraph if they don't understand a phrase, etc., regardless of their reading ability (I don't pay much attention to this distinction). They should try to simply reread the pages in the same manner if, after reading a few pages, they still don't comprehend a single word. They will only search for the crucial terms if this doesn't work. Word meanings are frequently clarified by their context. It is only visible after reading a passage of text twice or even three times. And reading lengthy passages is preferable: No writer ever fully employs the language's phrases and idioms; there are those that individuals only use sometimes. You can learn a lot about an author by their language when preferred phrases and expressions appear often in various circumstances. This aids in teaching readers to love reading and to grasp terms without having to seek them up. The challenge is getting pupils to keep going forward, but that's what teachers are usually there to do.

Re: Tips for Reading
One piece of advice I have for teaching reading, patience.
Patience gives the reader confidence to try and make errors. Always give them the tools they need to try and read independently, such as enhancing their phonetic knowledge.
Sight words also place a huge role in fluency.
