  1. improve your reading skills, your vocabulary range and your writing
  2. because there are so many unfamiliar words and it is slow and boring to look them all up in the dictionary
  3. by reading in chunks of four or five words rather than one word at a time
  4. it helps you focus on how much you do understand rather than all the words you don’t understand
