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 an ongoing topic of 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 skills. However, due to traditional English classroom instruction focusing heavily on teaching language fundamentals such as vocabulary and grammar, teachers and students spend a significant amount of time and energy on imparting, mastering, reviewing, and practicing these knowledge points. This results in insufficient training in core reading skills such as discourse competence, thinking ability, and reading techniques, leaving students' reading ability with little substantial improvement. From the results of English exams, students often lose points excessively on 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. The "Compass English" series published by Anhui Science and Technology Press is a highly commendable English reading skills training 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, diverse genres and themes, authentic language, scientifically designed exercises, and well-balanced difficulty levels. Compared to many other English reading training books I have encountered, its quality is outstanding. It is believed to be highly beneficial as a supplementary tool for English reading instruction in primary and secondary schools in China.
