reading techniques

Reading techniques are different strategies or skills that can help a person become a better reader. Some example reading techniques include previewing the material before starting to read, reading out loud, breaking down long words and taking notes as you go.

First, previewing the material before starting to read means looking at the title, looking at any pictures, making predictions about what the book or article might be about and what the key points might be. This will help you focus and understand the material better.

Second, reading the material out loud can help you focus on what you are reading and can help you understand things better. It can also help you remember the information more easily.

Third, breaking down long and unfamiliar words can also help you understand things better. You can look up the meaning of the words you don’t know and break the word into pieces to help you understand it better.

Finally, taking notes as you read can help you remember key points in the material. You can use things like highlighting and underlining to help you remember key facts and ideas.

These are some strategies that can help you become a better reader. By using these techniques, you will be able to understand and remember things better.
