what can i do improve my reading skills?

Answer 1

If you're dealing with comprehension, try picking out the information you think is very important because there are many sentences that talk nothing but crap. Just try reading very slowly, and concentrate. Don't think about anything else while reading because it disrupts information from being memorized this is why some people can't remember what they have read. If that doesn't help, find a book, lock yourself in a bedroom and read it out loud just like what a professional speaker would do. Trust me, it worked for me. Try to imagine there's an audience and it's up to you what you want to do next.

There are a variety of things that you can do to improve your reading skills. For now, lets focus on your reading comprehension, your understanding of the topic, and reading speed.

I think the most effective way to improve comprehension (remembering what you read) is the idea of "connecting." Find ways to connect what yor are reading to yourself, to other people, or to other things that you already know. That way, what you are reading MEANS something to you and you are more likely to remember or use the information you just read better.

One other good reading technique to improve your vocabulary and understanding is called "infering." Infering basically means that you should use what you have available to figure out what the author means or intends. If you are unsure about what something means, use the sentences within the paragraph to help you come up with an idea. Also use what you may already know to help piece an idea together.

For me, I have always been a slow reader. This always gave me trouble on tests where I had to read articles and answer questions on them!! The best way to overcome that is to sum up each paragraph into one idea. Most of the time, the first and last sentence of a paragraph will be the most important--so read those first! It helped me a lot when I could underline or write a few words down that could help sum up the paragraph. That way, when you get to the questions, you do not have to spend a lot of time re-reading to find your answer. . . you simply look at what you wrote in the margins or what you underlined!

I hope this helps!!

Keep on reading even you don't understand instantly. As time goes on, reading becomes a habit for you. Start reading the books on fiction, personality development, reputed columns in daily newspapers and weekly magazines. Try to know the meaning and pronunciation of the difficult words that you come across while reading. Reading improves your knowledge and confidence.

Answer 6

Decades ago, it was a "big thing" to have your kids put in "speed reading" courses. So, that's what my parents did to me, over and over and over, AND, I can "proudly" say that I read just as slow when I got through with all of them as I did when I got started. Now, after highschool, and three college degrees and several careers, I can say that reading is so easy that it's hardly worth the time in many cases. I can "speed read" just as my father amazed me at his doing back when I was a kid. How did I do it??? Read, read, read, read, read, read,read, read, read, . . .. It's like that old saying, "Practice makes perfect!" God Bless you.
