TIP 5: KEEP A LIST OF QUESTIONS
When you
feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any questions you
have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not, don’t
be afraid to ask for help. Remember teachers create assignments; they’ve read
the text and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your
teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material.
Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.
Asking questions
to yourself, to the teacher, and others, is a great learning method. When you
cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently
asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you
are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost
everything else.
The philosopher
sir Francis bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension
is the key to learning important knowledge and making the most of your
education. So pick up a book and pen.
