Three golden rules for reading

Take these three steps to help you read your way to better English.

Comfort
Read at a comfortable language level – no more than a few unknown words on a page. Find your reading level quickly with our Find Your Level Guide or try our new interactive Bookworms Level Test.

Choice
We don't all like the same books. So read what you like, not what you think you should like. You can find a book to suit you by using our Choose a Bookworm search.

And remember, if you're not enjoying a book, it's OK to stop reading it and read a different Bookworm.
