suggest several ways of increasing reading comprehension. This essay will
consider two of these ways.

Chapter by chapter read any lines in boldface print and read the summary that is
or essay-try reading only the first sentence of each paragraph Before long, you
will be aware of the smooth and progressive flow of thought. When you have
finished skimming in this way, you will be able to pinpoint the main ideas that the
author is stressing. You will also have a rough idea of how the author is
organizing the material to support the points being made. Skimming the material
first will aid you in fully understanding the selection when you reread it later.
Another way to increase your reading comprehension is to give yourself tests.
After you read something, see if you can tell yourself the details of what you have
read Can you enumerate the points in the order in which the author made them?

your reading comprehension. Of course, you aren't expected to memorize and
then recite all you read. But if you can't answer basic questions about the
material, go back and read the selection again.
