Reading skills

Improve and enhance your reading skills

If you were to visit http://www.gistxl.com/baomihua/ you can click the icon "Romanise the whole article".

Print the whole article with Hanyu Pinyin and read on your own, repeat listening the areas (especially the difficult phrases and words) until you finally confirm you have caught them.

Read aloud and look at the Hanyu Pinyin to help you pronounce the words. Underline or highlight the words or phrases that you have difficulty. Practise as many time as you wish until you are able to read aloud without looking at the romanised text.



Print another copy of the whole article without Hanyu Pinyin and read aloud.

(If you have problem printing the page using Web Browser's Print command, just try to use "Print Screen" (Prt Scr) button on your key board to capture the screen and paste individual screen pages on MsWord, then print it out in Doc format.)


As reading Chinese means understanding and pronouncing the words by looking at the characters, so if you are able to read the text without the help of Hanyu Pinyi, you have improved and enhanced your reading skills through practice.
