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 knowledgeable 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 the 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 sometime.
