Reading Comprehension



Reading Comprehension means understanding what the author of the passage says in the passage. You have to connect the meaning of the first sentence to the following passages so as to understand the underlying meaning of the whole passage. This requires motivation, power of concentration and good study techniques. You have to develop interest in the world affairs. This will sharpen your power of words. Good writers construct paragraphs that have a beginning, middle and end. Often, the first sentence will give an overview that helps provide a framework for adding details. Also, look for transitional words, phrases or paragraphs that change the topic. Just reading a book once is not enough.
