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.
