Features: Reading ability holds a significant position in English skills and is also a key language proficiency assessed in most English tests. Therefore, how to better improve reading ability and reading level has become a topic of continuous reflection and practice for English learners and educators. The new English curriculum standards have also set higher and more updated requirements for reading ability. English teaching in China has traditionally emphasized the cultivation of students' reading skills. However, due to the traditional English classroom teaching focusing heavily 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 for reading ability, which is centered around discourse competence, thinking ability, and reading techniques, and students' reading skills have not seen substantial improvement. From the results of English exams, students often lose too many points in reading comprehension and cloze tests. There are many ways to train reading skills, but from the perspective of quickly improving students' English reading ability and achieving ideal scores in English tests, speed reading paired with exercises that are appropriately challenging and in moderate quantity is an excellent method. "Compass English" published by Anhui Science and Technology Press is a highly commendable series of English reading skill training books. This series is written by experienced English teaching experts from abroad, specifically designed for English learners in Asian countries. The materials are carefully selected, cover a wide range of genres and themes, use natural and authentic language, feature scientifically designed exercises, and maintain a moderate difficulty level. Compared to many other English reading training books I have seen, this series stands out in quality. It is believed to be highly beneficial as a supplementary tool for English reading instruction in primary and secondary schools in China.
