Reading skills

Hello,

I'd like to hear your opinion on how best to develop reading skills in a foreign language. The simplest answer is "just read more, something you are interested in," right? But can you learn to read in a bad way? I mean reading too carelessly, for example, or not being able to vary the reading speed according to the task at hand might be counterproductive.

you should too, to show them movies without translate to listen to the speaking....

and; they have to write the difficult words in a private notebook and memorize them

And that so easy; they will read easily
