How to Improve Reading Comprehension Skills?

   Reading is all about information. It’s not about the number of words you read, but the amount of value you extract from them. The key to improved reading comprehension isn’t moving your eyes across a page more quickly. It’s about creating a mental framework that helps you process words and ideas. With a bit of practice; anyone can read faster and more productively.

   The ability to improve your reading comprehension depends on at least three factors: your motivation to learn; your concentration skills; and the use of a good reading method. In addition to these three factors, you may also benefit from the tips and strategies given below.

1. Broaden your knowledge - Read newspapers, magazines, books, and professional journals. Become interested in current events. This will help you build a stronger mental framework for ideas and concepts.

2. Create motivation and interest - If there is no in interest, there is no progress. Discuss ideas with your friends, family, coworkers, and classmates. The stronger your interest in the subject, the Greater your comprehension will be.

3. Highlight what you think is most important - If you want to fully understand what you are reading, reading it once is not enough. Highlight the main ideas and review them after you have read the entire piece.

4. Strengthen your vocabulary - Building your vocabulary is a long process, not an event that happens overnight. However, the more you know about the language, the more you will understand. Keep a dictionary handy and look up words that are not familiar.

5. Use a systematic reading method, such as SQ3R! SQ3R stands for

Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review.

Easy Ways to Build Vocabulary

        It’s not really all that hard to build an advanced and comprehensive vocabulary. Like many things in life, it’s an ongoing process, and the best part of the process is that there’s virtually infinite room for improvement, which means you’ll just keep getting better and better. Of course you have to work at it. You wouldn’t think that a few months of exercise in your teens would suffice you for the rest of your life, now would you? Well, it’s the same with building your vocabulary – you have to keep at it daily, and pretty soon you’ll find that you have an excellent vocabulary. And right here are a few tips to help you on your way.

     One interesting way to build vocabulary is to actively search for new words in everyday life – and when you do come upon a new word, make sure you absorb it. Take a minute or two to go over it. If you don’t understand its meaning, write it down and check up on it later – there are so many on-line dictionaries and vocabulary sites available on the net that can easily help you with this part. All it takes from you is a few minutes of your time – if you can’t spare that, it’s going to be very difficult for you to build up your vocabulary.

    One of the finest ways to build vocabulary is to read good books. Newspaper gossip columns just don’t cut it – you need to really read at least one good book a week, preferably a classic. This isn’t really as hard as it sounds, and it is far more effective than any other method because you improve your vocabulary while having fun, while reading and interesting piece of literature. Another nice thing is that you absorb both new words and their use unconsciously, meaning that you will tend to use the words learned this way in conversations virtually automatically.

   This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t make conscious efforts to enhance your vocabulary while reading. When you come upon a new word in a book, write it down in a note books and memorize it. If you don’t understand the meaning, look it up and understand it thoroughly. Then write a small summary of the book, or of a paragraph of the book, making sure you use the new words learned. Over the next few days, try to use those words effectively in conversations, until the new words are an effective and useful part of your vocabulary. Just follow these simple tips and you’ll have an incredible vocabulary.
