Tip 5: 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 text and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your
teachers can provide answers that will help you understand the material.
Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.
Asking
questions to yourself, 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.
