At the outset, the importance of students’ reading proficiency is overviewed. In the review section, some relevant studies about reading skill development and various approaches to improve reading proficiency have been discussed. The need for achieving proficiency in reading through some useful methods, material and efficient evaluation techniques are critically reviewed. The methodology that used in this study is survey method for students. Further, the data collected is analysed and interpreted using various statistical tools, such as tables, bar-charts etc. As per this study, students believed that vocabulary, word familiarity and dictionaries played a huge role.
