Very Good Reading Site to practice for IELTS

Use the link below to practice reading for IELTS.  There are many levels starting at beginners.  If I were you, I would start with Grade 4 or 5, then work up.  These readings use proper form for writing--good introductions, topic and support sentences for each paragraph and good conclusions.  They are not very long.  They also use good academic words.

I suggest that you read over some of the sites in your area of study. The technical writing one above shows good and bad examples of word choices, amount of information, how it is given and so on. It is clear and simple to read through.
