This is a very important skill to take advantage of for reading comprehension and mastering academic material. Some of these techniques include a few simple steps such as making sure to eliminate any possible distractions for example television, cell phones, etcetera.

    In my own education, the reading activities that have had the most effect on my reading have varied. During my primary years, the strategies that we now call direct reading instruction helped build the foundational comprehension and vocabulary skills needed for reading more complex texts in college. While reading, I use context clues to try and understand any unknown vocabulary words. If this strategy does not work, I use my computer to look up synonyms for the word and re-read the sentence by replacing it with a word I understand. Additionally, I reread the entire paragraph with the synonym to derive the meaning of the concept or topic.…

Also by removing myself from any distractions, I can concentrate harder on the things that I am reading. Preparing for my reading sessions in advance helps to optimize my chance of greater concentration on my reading materials.…

    Using the resources that has been set for me has been a vital part of me excelling in class. Reviewing my notes, homework, and test have helped me stay on top of my grades. Being able to review the material has allowed me to study the material and use it for future classes.

AVID taught me time management skills, how to take quick in depth notes called Cornell Notes, study skills and techniques, and how to interpret information into higher level questions to make sure I knew the information I am receiving in class. Then in AVID class I was able to come to class with questions I needed guidance with and have a college student tutor me.
