Reading
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.
