Reading
5 Tips for Success
Reading
and writing go hand in hand. The better you understand a text, the more you are
to successfully communicate your thoughts 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 elements, 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 repetition of key words,
phrases or symbols — or the use of a distinct type if sentence structure.
Authors employ these writing strategies to help readers comprehend a central
argument or theme so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.
