Ambiguity tolerance has a significant impact on English reading, specifically affecting students' reading styles, speed, and accuracy. Students with high ambiguity tolerance tend to adopt holistic reading strategies, achieving faster reading speeds but potentially overlooking crucial details. Conversely, those with low ambiguity tolerance prefer detailed, analytical reading methods, focusing excessively on specifics, which may lead to inefficient reading and potential deviations from the original meaning. Therefore, understanding students' actual ambiguity tolerance and taking measures to cultivate it, while guiding them towards more flexible and efficient reading styles, is crucial for enhancing their reading abilities and comprehensive literacy.
