How can I understand reading comprehension better?

Answer 1

That is a problem... - I know it as a teacher and as an english student. In my country there is an exam at the end of the high school including reading comprehension, and that is really tricky and hard. Especially as the answers are set by examiners and you just have to say the same as in the answer key which is sometimes too strict....So - the idea is to give the students a lot of practice in it, but it is all a bit stupid and kills the best students sometimes
I also had to pass reading test on the ESOL exam. And - although I study literature, I read a lot - above my level of english (normal books, even from XIX century, newspapers, etc) - pretty fast, and have no problems with understanding. But that is not enough to ace that test. So - reading, reading, reading is not a good way to practice? Apparently not... maybe it would be good to attend special classess - for "fast readers" or sth...

Answer 2

that is a good question, a lot of people have trouble with that..

the best thing is to practice, read a story after each paragraph close the book and write a little something down about the story, over time your brain will began to remember things as you read, you just need to practice and train your brain to process information..

Answer 3

one sentence at a time, as you go along out each sentence into your own words take vocabuary words that you know the meaning of in the text change them to simpler words as you read the passage. Don't move to far ahead until you've got the drift of each additional sentence. I hope this makes sense to you and helps.
