READING COMPREHENSION

1. Search for a quiet place to read, avoiding at all costs the distractions, trying to be

focused on reading without any type of interruptions and, in this way get a greater

assimilation of concepts.

2. Reread the text because when we read a text for the first time we are left with the

main idea. But if we go back to read the details that were overlooked, they will be

more obvious after the second reading.

3. Visualize is to create our own mental images about what we are reading.

4. Make a quick reading, it helps us to have a main idea of the text and an idea in

general of what happens in the story.

5. Read daily texts in English, this improves your reading level and you learn more

vocabulary, you can read stories, news, books or what you like to read, this helps

you to expand the lexicon and understand the text much faster.
6. Ask yourself questions before, during and after reading. Examine the text before

reading it and ask yourself the following questions: Are there words in bold or

italics?

 What names are mentioned in the text?

 Is there a lot of dialogue?

 Are the paragraphs short or long? After reading the text, answer the

following questions to evaluate how much you understood.

 What was the text about?

 What were the most important things?

 Did something surprise you?

 Are there parts that you did not understand?

7. Face the new terms. If you find an unknown word, underline it so that later you

look for the meaning, but if at the moment you can deduce what it means, ignore it.

It is important to have the ability to understand the general idea of the text without

resorting immediately to the dictionary. After the reading is finished, you can find

out the exact meaning of the new concepts and form sentences with these words.

8. Make summaries and schemes. This is a good key to improve reading

comprehension, in addition to reading is important the interaction with the text,

when making the summary you are also practicing written expression, grammar

and vocabulary. You can write your opinion with your own words to test your

understanding.
