5 Tips for Success
Reading and writing go hand in hand.
The better you understand a text, the more likely 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 a repetition of key words, phrases 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 theme, so be sure
to explore how these techniques create meaning.
