What is a good way to improve reading comprehension skills?

We Answered:

it boils down to concentration. your left and right brain must be in synch which is a problem for many of us. one side would always wander off to something else. tts how distraction occurs. its tough. need lots of training to simply concentrate.
also your vocab must be large enough to understand the nuances involved in reading long passages with big words.
training in reading certain types of books which u hv to find will bring your level of comprehension higher

Since an entrance is bound with time limit...you may prefer to scan and skim...important words... from this you may have the edge to answer does question at the end of a reading material.

How can I possibly improve reading and comprehension skills!!?

We Answered:

I grew up with dyslexia, and the schools i attended back then didn't understand it, so i for the most part went uneducated,

i then met some one in my teen years who helped me by recording the text book in partitions on Audio, just ahead of the study schedule ,

making it so that i could read along with her voice, and later i used that method in other thing using two of my senses to learn improving my comprehension and learning skills 10 fold

later making it possible for me to go on to graduate and even achieve some minor collage degrees, in general it helped me to understand in greater detail what i was trying to learn,

reading while listening, it took some getting used to, i was lucky to have had her as a friend perhaps you can get the text books on tape and read along with the tapes ,

it might work for you like it did me, also reading on a TV that has close caption while listening and watching help to focus my attention , it might help you too,
