Reading Comprehension Game

Gloria Said:

Powerscore's Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension as effective as Logic Games Bible?

We Answered:

I'm biased because I now teach LSAT for PowerScore, so you'll have to take my comments for what you think they are worth, but back when I was first prepping for the LSAT I used both the LGB and LRB (the RCB hadn't come out at that point).

Speaking after having read a lot of different books on the LSAT, I don't think there's anything else out there like the Logical Reasoning Bible. Most LSAT prep books are 400-500 pages total, but the LRB is over 500 on Logical Reasoning alone. It's comprehensive and clear. The LGB and LRB are really the reason I ended up taking a class from PowerScore, and why I ended up applying to teach there, so I would be a fan regardless.

Now that I teach, I've read the LSAT Reading Comprehension Bible and I think it is good, but I also think RC is a harder section to teach in general. So much of it depends on your native reading speed, and that is hard change in a short time. I think the book does a really good job of showing you how to look for the structures present in RC passages, and how to be a better reader, but RC depends a little more on your natural reading ability than do the other two sections, in my opinion. So, it is good, but I think most people get more "bang" out of the LGB and LRB just because the nature of those sections is different.

Just my 2 cents!

How is the Powerscore Reading Comprehension book?

We Answered:

I like it, but I'm not finished with it. It just came out in September, so it hasn't been around long enough to get a lot of comments, but I bought it because the other two books are standard procedure for LSAT prep. Reading comp is my strength, so I have been studying this one less, but it is written in the same style as the other two, and it seems very detailed. I did see one typo, but otherwise it has been good so far.

Franklin Said:

Is there reading comprehension in solving riddles?

We Answered:

If the riddles are presented in written, rather than spoken form, then of course reading comprehension is involved. You can only solve a puzzle if you can understand it.

On the other hand, if the riddles are presented in pictorial form or by spoken word, then no reading comprehension would be required, unless reading was "embedded" into the riddle somehow.

For example of a pictorial/spoken word riddle, if we are playing a common word game, and I show you a picture of a cork + a picture of a screw the answer is "corkscrew". (This is a rebus puzzle. Many require an ability to spell and read. Some don't.)

Megan Said:

can reading comprehension be embedded in an RPG game and what will be its essence?

We Answered:

Pick and choose.

You may embed reading comprehension in games provided the silent reading process is not interrupted, and that comprehension questions (for general information, and for details) immediately follow the reading process.
For example, you can divide the class into two groups and see which group does better,
keeping in mind that reading is an individual activity and cannot be practiced in pairs or in groups.

Grace Said:

I'm 28 years old and a slow reader with very poor reading comprehension skills, is it too late to improve?

We Answered:

I think your issue is more common than you think. Wasn't much of a video game player myself, but it is still a challenge for me to get through all my assigned readings for school. (I'm in my mid 20s btw). Been trying to teach myself speed reading, not much luck. I think it just takes practice and constantly utilizing the information you read in order to commit it to memory. Which reminds me...I have a ton of reading to catch up on...

Keep going, you can always improve!
