Hello Learners, Among LSRW Skills, Reading skill holds an important place. All the four skills are necessary for communication as well as teaching learning place. Let’s see the Reading skill, its technique, types and importance in detail. Reading for study You already use a range of reading styles in everyday situations.

Hello Learners, English has a status of associate language, but in fact it is the most important language of India. After Hindi it is the most commonly spoken language in India and probably the most read and written language in India.
