二、 小升初英语阅读题型复习攻略
在广州小升初考试中，语数英是必考的，如果对于英语特色学校来说，英语的分值甚至比的上数学的分值。而就英语考题来说，阅读题型占有的比例是很大的， 阅读是主动地、积极地获取信息的创造行为，是培养学生通过视觉感知书面文字符号并获取信息能力的途径，更是提高听、说、写能力的有力杠杆，它在英语学习中起着至关重要的作用。那么从哪些方面提高阅读能力?
(一)平时要注意词汇和习惯用法的积累，阅读过程中难免会遇到生词，但大量的生词会严重影响阅读的速度和对文章的理解的准确度。
(二)平时要巩固语法知识，阅读文章中涵盖有大量的语法信息，如何对语法信息不理解，会影响对句子的理解，会影响对上下文的理解，从而造成对文章理解的偏差。
(三)阅读时要注意培养语感，语感好的人，理解力就强，阅读的速度就快。阅读时要留心词语的搭配，即惯用法。必要时可用笔划一划或记下来。读完每一篇文章，都应总结归纳一下，积累了多少单词，惯用法和句型，这样语感自然就会好起来。
(四)掌握有效的阅读技巧，比如：skimming和scanning这两种常见的阅读技巧。阅读时要注意加以练习。
(五)要注意养成良好的阅读习惯，阅读时要去掉杂念，心绪要安定，精神要专一，良好的阅读习惯+好的阅读技巧会让你事倍功半。
(六)要注意提高阅读速度，从另一个方面来说，考的是考试速度。慢读是不行的。因此做阅读理解时，要注意培养自己快速阅读的习惯。
提高阅读能力，只要坚持正确的阅读方法，培养兴趣，广泛阅读，积累词汇，并且养成良好的阅读习惯，阅读理解能力一定会逐步提高。

四、 支招：提高英语阅读能力的四大方法
英语阅读题是在英语考试中占分非常大的一块!如果你希望能够趁着寒假提高英语阅读能力，以下的一些方法也许能够帮助你哦!!
一、扎实听说能力，才能从本质上提高阅读水平;
读和听力一样，是语言材料的“输入”，没有足够的“输入”，就不可能有“输出”——“说”和“写”。“听”不但是说的基础，还是阅读的基础。之所以能读懂，是因为事先能听懂。比如，How old are you?这个句子，我们之所以能读懂，是因为在阅读过程中，我们把文字符号转化为声音符号读出来了，而这个声音符号是我们事先能听懂的。如果原本就听不懂这个句子，那么，哪怕你每个一单词的中文意思都很清楚，你很有可能会误读，如： How (怎么)are(是)you(你)? How(怎么)old(老)are(是)you(你)?
哪怕不是误读，你也会因为要逐字翻译、分析句子结构等等，读了很辛苦、很乏味。 因此，在阅读之前，一定要充分地“听”，听得越多，词汇量越大，语感越强，以后阅读起来就越得心应手。这就是我们常说的“磨刀不误砍柴工”。
所以，我个人认为，如果是一年级开始学英语的，已经有了一定的听说基础、语感和词汇量，小学三年级可以渐渐步入简单的阅读了。
听，是为了“说”和更好地“读”。听力的训练，应该贯穿英语学习的始终，尤其是整个小学阶段，都应该以听、说为主要任务。因此，强烈建议家长们给孩子购买有声读物，读完了可听，听完了可读，或边听边读，直到听熟、会背，争取以后在听别的文章，碰到同样的单词或句型时，能够一听就懂。此外，听还有助于记住生词的发音，有助于形成语感。 因此，最有效的阅读方式是，把阅读能力的提高、听力的提高、词汇量的扩大、语感的形成、语音语调的规范紧密结合起来，达到语言综合能力的全面发展。 二、什么是sight word?对阅读有什么帮助?
sight word，顾名思义，就是指“一sight(看见)，就能马上拼读出来的单词”。熟悉这些单词的作用在于，它们是常见词，而且其中有些不符合发音规律，无法通过自然拼音正确读出来。如果这部分单词能够一见到就拼读出来，就会大大提高阅读速度，从而提高阅读兴趣。要知道，英语中，最常见的前25个单词，构成了所有阅读文章中1/3的内容，最常见的100个单词构成了50%的内容，最常见的300个单词65%的内容。
那么，怎么去掌握这些sight word呢?专门去背这个词汇表吗?不是，应该在孩子开始阅读第一本书时，就边读边掌握。 三、怎样更好地通过阅读积累词汇?
阅读和听力一样，是积累词汇的最佳手段(孤立地背单词是完全行不通的)。
在阅读过程中，家长可以把孩子原来不认识的生词，或犹豫片刻才拼读出来的单词，单独写在书的边边角角(尤其是前面第四点中提到的sight word)，等孩子把文章读熟后，再单独朗读这些单词，或者用英文黑体字(Arial Black字体)和很大的字号(小初号)打印出来，贴在客厅的墙上，以便经常利用零碎的时间让孩子拼读。做到下次阅读别的文章，看到同样的单词，能够马上拼读出来，并知道大概意思，孩子的阅读速度、阅读能力就会渐渐提高，词汇量也会慢慢扩大。
为什么要单独拿出来读呢?除了强调以外，还有一个很重要的原因：在读课文时，孩子因为听熟、读熟了，在上下文中顺着就能不假思索地读出来，并没有动脑筋去拼，去想，而单独拿出来，脱离了前言后语，可能就不知道怎么读，什么意思了。 四、文章中的生词，要不要刻意去背拼写和中文意思呢?
这些单独写出来的词，不需要刻意背拼写和中文意思，但要做到下次看到就能读出来并知道大致意思。因为刻意去背，虽然记住了，但因为不使用，过几天就会忘记，而且孩子学英语的兴趣可能也会在背单词中渐渐消磨，倒不如把用于背单词的时间用在阅读上，通过单词在文章中的复现，自然而然地记住常用词的拼写。这样记单词的好处是，记住拼写的同时，中文意思、单词的用法也就一起记住了，而且通过这种方法记住的单词，不容易忘记。 所以，阅读和听说读写的能力是相互帮助的!如果孩子忘记单词的中文意思，可以从文章中把含有这个单词的那个句子，甚至是整篇文章找出来，让她再读一遍，孩子一读原句，马上就明白单词的含义了，多反复几遍，中文意思自然就记住了。提高英语阅读，既能提高单词的记忆程度，也可以在考试中拿下占分很大的阅读部分!
