All about Reading Comprehension
Reading comprehension means understanding what you read. Good readers ask questions, predict what will happen, summarise what they have read and visualise the scenes in their minds. These habits make reading more interesting and help you remember.
If a word or sentence is confusing, reread it slowly, look up unknown words and think about the context. Connecting new information with what you already know helps you understand texts more deeply.
