Tip5: Keep a List of Questions

When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they’ve read the texts and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teacher can provide answer that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.

Asking question to you, to the teacher, and to others, is a great learning method.  When you cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else. The philosopher sir Francis bacon said, “Knowledge is power.”  Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book… and a pen.

“When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece.

This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It being by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost.”

Tip 3: do research

Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytical and critical pieces on countless books, if you’re having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholar sources, not condensed study guides.

Tip 4: use a dictionary

Make sure you have access to a dictionary when you’re reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t. Rather than simply skipping over the word you don’t know, take the time to look for them. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase greatly, and you’ll build your vocabulary at the same time.

5 tips for success

Reading and writing go hand and hand. The better you understand a text, the more likely you are to successfully communicate your thought about it in writing, so it’s important to develop strong skills in both areas. With that in mind, here’s how to improve your reading comprehension.

Tips 1-2  

Tip 1: Annotate

Be an active reader. Instead of passively reading a text, take notes about important story element, key factual information and significant ideas in the text.

Tip 2: note the author’s writing style

Every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information to the audience.  When you’re reading, look for patterns in the author’s writing. For example, you may notice a repetition of keys words, phase or symbols – or the use of a distinct type of sentence structure. Authors employ these writing strategies to help readers comprehend a central argument or themes, so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.
