Features: Reading ability holds a significant position in English skills and is also a key language application ability assessed in most English tests. Therefore, how to better improve reading ability and reading proficiency has become a topic of continuous reflection and practice for English learners and educators. The new English curriculum standards have also raised updated and higher requirements for reading ability. English teaching in China has traditionally emphasized the cultivation of students' reading ability. However, due to the traditional English classroom teaching placing excessive emphasis on the teaching of language fundamentals such as vocabulary and grammar, a significant amount of teachers' and students' time and effort is spent on imparting, mastering, reviewing, and practicing these knowledge points. This results in insufficient training of reading ability, which is centered around discourse competence, thinking ability, and reading techniques, and students' reading ability has not been substantially improved. From the results of English exams, students often lose points excessively in reading comprehension and cloze tests. There are many ways to train reading, but from the perspective of quickly improving students' English reading ability and achieving ideal results in English tests, rapid reading paired with exercises that are appropriately challenging and in moderate quantity is an excellent method. The "Compass English" series published by Anhui Science and Technology Press is a very good English reading skills training book series. This series is written by experienced English teaching experts from abroad, specifically for English learners in Asian countries. The series features carefully selected materials, a wide range of genres and themes, authentic language, scientifically designed exercises, and appropriately moderate difficulty levels. Compared to many other English reading training books I have seen, its quality is outstanding. It is believed to be highly beneficial as a supplementary tool for English reading teaching in primary and secondary schools in China.
