Are there any resources or things in can do to practice my skills in reading ahead during a game to improve my abilities?

Yes, play more games! Also do more tsumego.

The secret to improving reading really is to do more things that require reading.

This might help:

There are multiple different skills involved in reading. Other people's ideas are good; if you're particularly worried about your ability to read out deep sequences with very few variations, you should look at ladder problems.

The GoScorer program in the GoGOD CD can help you.

I second this.

If one of your issues is regarding how to hold a board position in your mind's eye in order to read accurately and make a judgement on whether or not the result is good, ladder problems are the way to go.

They essentially have one path, and so the main skill that they work is visualizing. This is essential for keeping tabs on your liberties, among other things, in a position before you play it out.

I have recently found a twitter account '@igoayaya15', where a go teacher posts problems which you take the marked stones. Each and every move is not complicated but the moves are terribly long.

You fail if you only consider it practice because no amount of practice achieves brute force reading. You also need to study the theory of tactical reading so that you know which variations to read, and which decisions to make, and which may be ignored while still getting the correct answers.

If there was shortcut, we'd all be dan. Unfortunately, reading is a question of how your head works as much as any workable study techniques. Some folks have more powerful and reliable visualization and memorization abilities.

For me (at my skill level), reading became easier the more go I played. Positions, situations, relationships, and sequences had occurred often enough over the decades that I could quickly recognize many and several variations. That is, given a pattern of stones, I could recall some of the various possible outcomes. This allowed me to take into consideration the opponent's playing style in order to predict his responses and hopefully I would make the better choice of possible outcomes.

I just want to point out that this thread is from 2013 so no use replying to the original posters.

This thread was revived by Kyulearner and they found some neat reading problems posted by twitter user: https://twitter.com/igoayaya15

I'll post picture because they are fun and creative. I decided to "follow" them.
