Reading
Tips 3-4
Tip
3: 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. Going the extra mile in your research elevates
your achievement 10-fold
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 the 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 same time.
