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 a 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 author's 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 these writing strategies to help readers comprehend a central argument or theme, so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.
