ELA 30 HELP
I'm taking ELA 30-1 IB next year, and I need at least 90% to get into my target university. At my school, the ELA grade is based almost entirely on writing and reading comprehension, so doing well on the reading comp section is especially important for me!!!
Soo I'm looking for recommendations for practice books, websites, or other resources to improve my reading comprehension. My biggest weaknesses are poetry and Shakespeare. Since English isn't my first language, I often struggle with understanding older vocabulary, and the long passages. I do know all terminologies/literary devices but understanding poetry is js painful to me 🥲🥲
Here's what I already did / have been doing
- Reading books that interest me for about 30 minutes every day.
- Memorizing 10 new vocabs
- Practiced with the Alberta ELA released reading item
- Looking through materials on archive, although many of them only had the questions without the reading part.
