About this subject
Reading comprehension is the ability to understand, question and remember what you read, and it quietly decides how well students do in almost every subject. A maths problem written in words, a history source, a science report and an exam question all depend on it. Many readers decode every word fluently and still lose the thread of a long paragraph, miss what the writer is implying or cannot say afterwards what the main point was. The good news is that comprehension is not a fixed talent: it improves with the right habits and plenty of practice.
The books here teach reading as an active skill: previewing a text before you start, asking questions as you go, summarising each section in a sentence and connecting what you read with what you already know. These habits can be practised on any text, from a novel to a textbook chapter. A tutor can read with you, show you where your understanding slipped and choose texts that are hard enough to stretch you without putting you off.
