Below is my suggestion this helped me to improve my scores

When you prepare for IELTS Reading module, read articles in English newspapers, magazines, travel brochures, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia etc. You should read English story books too. Try to read a variety of topics– History, science, culture, social and natural sciences.

Tips 1: Make the habit of reading faster by reading words in groups/chunks rather than word by word. Try to read a minimum 2 hours per day. Read whatever interests you but obviously written in English. The three reading passages are on topics of general interest and usually, these passages are taken from books, newspapers, journals or magazines. So try to read recent news, newspapers, magazines, travel brochures etc. whenever possible.

Tips 2: Remember that you are reading for a purpose, not for pleasure. While practicing, make a habit of looking at the title and headings when you survey the text, as well as ant special print like CAPITAL, Bold, italic, “quotation”, underlined words. Try to understand exactly what the question wants and always followed the instructions carefully provided with the reading passages
