Survey

Let’s say your assignment is to read one last chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights:

.      Read the title, heading and subheadings.

·      Notice words that are italicized or bold.

·      Look at charts, graphs, pictures, maps and other visual material.

·      Read captions.

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. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore you 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.

You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for a lost day.”

Tip 3: Do Research

Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytical and critical pieces on countless books. If you’re having trouble understanding a popular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides.

Tip 4: Use a Dictionary

Make sure you have access to a dictionary when you’re reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t. Rather than simply skipping over the words you don’t know, take the time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase greatly, and you’ll build your vocabulary at the same time.

Reading and writing go hand in hand. The better you understand a text, the more likely you are to successfully communicate your thoughts about it in writing. So it’s important to develop strong skills in both areas. With that in mind, here’s how to improve your reading comprehension.

Tips 1-2

Tip 1: Annotate

Be an active reader. Instead of passively reading a text, take notes about important story elements, key factual information and significant ideas in the text.

Tip 2: Note the Author’s Writing Style

Every author writes with a purpose, using deliberate methods to successfully relate specific information to the audience. When you’re reading, look for patterns in the authors writing. For example, you may notice a repetition of key words, phrases or symbols –– or the use of a distinct type of sentence structure. Authors employ theses writing strategies to help readers comprehend a central argument or theme, so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.

To succeed in high school and collage you have to do your best at all times. But sometimes its hard to stay motivated even when you really care about the work you’re doing. Here are five ways to stay on the right track.

1. Focus on high-Impact activities

They key to success in school is staying focused on your course work. Make a list to get an overall picture of your workload before you start to tackle any of it. Then, make plan. Although its tempting to do the simplest assignment first, those that take more time and effort to accomplish are probably the ones that you’ll learn the most from.

To determine what your priorities are, rank your assignments in the order of their importance. Then rearrange your time and devote more energy toward those that the greatest impact on your course work and grades. For example even though all homework assignments are important studying for a midterm exam takes priority over writing a paragraph fpr English class. As you college success.

2. Create New Challenges

Changing your approach can help you stay interested in what you’re doing. If you’ve been given an assignment similar to one you’ve done in the past, think about it in a different way. If you wrote an essay for a creative writing assignment last year, try a poem this time. For book reports, pick a historical book instead of another bibliography.

Flash cards bound like this act like a small book with pages. You can have separate ringed stacks for each subject. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO REMEMBER, PUT IT ON A CARD.

Although very few students love homework, it does serve a purpose. Homework helps you:

·          Reinforce what you’ve learned during the day.

Create a good study area with everything you need (for example, a calculator). If you don’t have a quiet place at your school or local library.

KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN

Make a list of everything you need to do, and note all deadlines. Do the more difficult assignments first, so you don’t have to face them at the end.

Study at the same time every day

Even if you don’t have homework every night, use the time to review notes. If sitting down to work is part of your normal routine, you’ll approach it with less dread. Also, you’ll become a pro at using time productively.

Once you’ve done all of the above you’ll find you’ve created your own personalized study guide. Cover the main section of the page and use the key words and questions in the margin as a quiz.

Stick to it

Review your notes the day you take them and all your notes once a week. That way you wont need to study as much its test time.

You’ve been doing the work all along.

Try out the Cornell system, nut if it doesn’t work for you, experiment with other methods. Ask your classmates how they take notes or ask a teacher for advice. Take good notes requires practice like any other skill. And the more you work at it now, the more prepared you’ll be to take notes in college.

EMPHASIS ON THE WRITTEN WORD

Most of the communication, as well as the course work, in distance-learning classes is written. That’s a plus, because the focus on the written word gives you the opportunity to develop as a writer – and strong writing skills are essential to academic success. However, if writing is a serious weakness for you, virtual learning may not be the best educational option until you improve your skills. Yes, most of distance education is the written word; therefore, you need to be a good reader, love to read, and love writing also. Most of your assignments will be written and submitted to the instructor in the written format. Your penmanship needs to be excellent, spelling great, sentence structure above average, vocabulary extraordinary. You need to have online access with reliable equipment. If your Internet communications at home isn’t working, you can’t do online education from home and will need to go someplace where you do have access to the Internet.

Decide Whether It’s Right for You

Distance education isn’t for everyone, but it just might be for you. You really should seek it out and give it a try. You never know until you try. You might even fall in love with distance education. While distance education may be the perfect alternative for some students, it’s not the right choice for everyone. So carefully consider your unique needs and interests and give distance education a try; then, decide if it is right for you.

Challenging Aspects of Distance Education

·           Lack of in-person interactions: Some educators argue that both teacher-student and student contact are essential to learning. In a distance-learning classroom, you may be able to participate in class discussions online in chat rooms message boards or web conferences – but it’s not same as being with other students in a classroom.

·           Different levels of quality: Many distance-education programs supply and excellent learning experience, but others may not.

·           Research any program before signing on to make sure it’s rigorous enough. If you are choosing your own program looks into its accreditation before enrolling.

·           The need to self-start; Distance education lets you make your own schedules. If you have heard time getting motivated this might not be the ideal educational setting for you.

Positive Aspect of Distance Education

·           Independence and time management: Taking courses online lets you hone your ability to work on your own. You also gain experience in managing your time efficiently.

·           A flexible schedule: Schools can only provide a certain number of class periods in a single day, and there may not be enough time for you to take everything you want. Because distance education lets you take classes outside regular school hours it gives you the flexibility to explore all your areas of interest.

·           Advanced specialized classes: Some schools can’t provide advanced or specialized classes. Distance education gives you the chance to gain experience in areas that would otherwise remain out of reach.
