Reading
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.
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.
