READING

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 thought 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          

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.

2. Note the authors style

Every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When your reading look for patterns in the authors writing. For example, you may notice a repetition of key word, phrases or symbols- or the use of a distinct type of sentence structure.
