Reading
5 Tips for success
Tips 3-4
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 knowledge 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 scholarly 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 words you don’t know, take time to
look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will
increase greatly, and you’ll build your vocabulary at the same time.
