Became a Better Reader

I´m not sure how became a better reader in English, but I think it could be read, read , and read. Because when I started to study English I never thought that I could do it. To practice made me more confident in reading. I think in the same time we need to learn and memorize new words because if we dont understand the meaning of the words, we can read quick but we will not understand nothing. Only read is not a good goal. Read and understand this need to be our real goal. We do not have another choice only read, read, and read, and have patient.
