English reading practice is not just for young students. The synchronized reading method featured in the English Reading Practice Playlist is primarily for adults.
By reading along with the teacher, your brain will begin to synchronize your voice intonation and way of reading with the teacher's. It's an amazingly effective method for improving your fluency.
If you haven't tried it yet, use this exercise No. 5. It's also an interesting text on the power of goal setting.
