Learn how to improve your English Comprehension with this Reading Tip

Hey student! In this lesson, I am going to show you a very nice strategy to help you improve your comprehension in English.

This reading tip is going to help you improve your reading skills and comprehension skills as well. Not to mention your vocabulary that will also improve! So here we go!

 

ASK QUESTIONS WHILE YOU READ

To improve your reading comprehension, you can start working on creating questions that will help you analyze and better understand the information you are reading. By creating questions, you will be able to test your understanding of each part of the text you read.

 

HOW I USED THIS STRATEGY TO STUDY FOR TESTS

This helped me remember the information more quickly and also improved my comprehension skills. I felt like I was really being productive and learning the information I was reading.

To help you better understand that, let’s do a quick practice together.
