REMEMBER PAGE
â–º Do you ever feel overwhelmed with the amount of reading you have? Do you ever have trouble staying focused and motivated while reading? Do you sometimes have difficulty understanding and remembering what you read? If so, you’re not alone. Many students struggle with these things because reading in college can be challenging, time-consuming, and lot more rigorous than high school; however, with some effective strategies, you can make your reading time meaningful, focused, and productive.
â–º Teachers are significant in developing understanding and critical thinking skills among students. Moreover, they play an important role in leading the students to attain academic progress and eventually to become successful in the chosen field.
â–º Academic language is a formal way of presenting ideas and information through words. It is also associated to the oral, written, auditory and visual language proficiency required to learn effectively in schools.
â–º It is vital to a learner to develop skills in vocabulary, grammar punctuation, syntax and the likes.
â–º Research shows that you retain more when you actively engage and interact with texts, as opposed to simply reading and re-reading without a clear purpose. Many students can relate to the type of reading that involves copying down pages of notes word-for-word from the text or simply scanning over pages without really reading them or interacting at all. While these two approaches are on opposite ends of the spectrum, neither of them engages your brain in a way that elicits deep understanding and retention. Active reading engages your brain in effective strategies that force your brain to interact with the text before, during, and after reading and that help you better gauge what you are (and aren’t) learning.
