Success

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 texts 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 to others, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you
cease to exist to a great extent. Reading 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 anything else.
The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge
is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important
knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book . . . and a pen.
Choose The Right!
