Reading English articles is enjoyable and educational, but it can be challenging to understand them. Here are eight simple tips to help you improve your reading comprehension:
Tip 1: Skim the text by looking at titles, subtitles, first and last paragraphs, and any charts or pictures. This gives you a general idea of the article’s structure.
Tip 2: Scan for specific information by using keywords. This helps you find answers quickly.
Tip 3: Guess the meaning if you don’t know a word. Try to figure out its meaning from the context, roots, prefixes/suffixes, synonyms/antonyms, or the whole sentence.
Tip 4: Analyze sentences in complex sentences by identifying the subject, verb, and object. Then, look at modifiers for clarity.
Tip 5: Find the main ideas by focusing on the first and last paragraphs and the first sentences of each paragraph. They often contain main ideas and key points.
Tip 6: Understand logic by noticing cause-and-effect, turns, and parallels in the text. This helps you follow the author’s thoughts.
Tip 7: Summarize the article in your own words after reading. This strengthens your understanding and memory.
