Tip 5: keep a list of questions 
when you feel confused about something you're reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not don't be afraid to ask for help. Remember, teachers create assignments; they've read the text and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in a question developed and asked by the learner.

Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher, and do others, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you cease to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read questioning immerses you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.

The philosopher sir Francis bacon said, “knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book … and a pen.

Tip 3: do research

Literary critics have written vast numbers of analytically and critical pieces on countless books. If you’re having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledgeable sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to guides. Going the extra mile in your research elevates your achievement 10-fold

Tip 4: use a dictionary

Make sure you access to a dictionary than you’re reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but something you can’t. rather than simply skipping  over the words you don’t know, take the time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase  greatly, and you’ll build your vocabulary  at the same time.

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 of 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 patters 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 writhing strategies to help readers comprehend  a central argument or theme, so be sure to explore how these techniques create meaning.
