 READING SKILL

In this  week, I want to share with you about reading skill. i want to share with you how to read effectively. First of all, students had to do some self evaluations. We had to ask ourselves whether we are a smart reader or not? Do we know and apply any strategies to be smart readers? we learnt ways to improve reading comprehension. There are active reading strategies, start with something general, guide my reading, reread difficult passages, highlight keywords and others. we have been told that we can apply the C.R.E.A.M learning strategies that we have learnt in the first week of class to improve our reading skill. When I am in any tests that reading skill is required, I always use a lot of time and that always make my time management mess up and sometimes I cannot finish my test on time. To avoid this problem from repeating again, I have to practice speed reading. we have some ways to improve reading speed. Some of the ways are finger tracking, know when to read aloud as well as keep my eyes moving forward. But in some situations, slow reading might be helpful. I am that kind of person who cannot concentrate on my reading when I am in busy or noisy environment. I have to reread the passages all over again and because of that, I take more time that is needed. To overcome this problem, I tried to read articles in newspaper or magazines and asked my friend to set the time for me when I was in public places. I practiced the finger tracking and highlight keywords strategies, and fortunately I managed to solve my problem and finish the reading on time.
