Reading French well (see French Reading & Writing) means learning which letters are typically silent — and understanding that liaison brings some of them back in speech.
Track which common final consonants ("s," "t," "d," "x") are usually silent in isolation, so you're not constantly surprised by them while reading — this becomes automatic with exposure but benefits from deliberate early attention.
Since liaison only becomes audible in connected speech, reading aloud (not silently) is how you actually practice recognizing and producing it — silent reading alone won't build this skill.
Use accented vowels (é, è, ê) as direct pronunciation cues while reading new words, rather than skimming past them — they tell you exactly how to pronounce the vowel correctly.
Simple, real content at your level builds more genuine reading confidence and speed than struggling through long, complex texts too early.
