Need help with your CELPIP reading skills?


Hello Reader,

This week I had multiple requests for help with CELPIP reading skills, so I wanted to share some resources with you that will help.

First, here's a dedicated 3 video reading skills playlist from my youtube channel. This playlist will teach you

  • How to take effective notes
  • What you MUST read - it's not the entire text!
  • Why you have to start reading WIDELY right now to build your vocabulary.
  • How to skim and scan when you read

Still have a question about reading skills for the CELPIP? Hit reply and let me know.

Have a fantastic weekend,

Aaron

Hello Reader, I remember when someone in my life said just the right words of encouragement to me in just the right moment when I needed it the most. Their words helped me so much, and you want to know something strange? I'd never met them in person. They hosted one of my favourite business podcasts at the time. Their words of encouragement?
