Abstract:The New Curriculum Standard (2000) reiterates: High School English Teaching should make the students’ basic knowledge stronger and develop their four basic language abilities of listening, speaking, reading and writing, with a special emphasis on the training of their reading ability, so that they can have a solid foundation for the further studies and for the use of English in the future.

This paper mainly focuses on different methods of English reading teaching in middle school. It is argued that whether different methods will affect the English reading or not. The aim of this paper is to find: a) How many kinds of reading strategies are used widely in English reading teaching? b) Which method is more effective? This paper concludes that: a) Students show different levels of acceptances because of different teaching methods. b) Different teaching methods reflect many problems, so middle school should determine how to make teaching of reading effective

   Due to the limited space, the paper merely discusses methods of English reading, but the author still hopes that both teachers and students in high schools can benefit from it.

Key words: English reading；teaching methods；different levels of acceptance
