RECITE

At the end of each section, look up from the text and in your own words recite an answer for that question for that section.  Then write down your answer. Be sure to provide examples that support it.

Now repeat the Question, Read and Recite steps for each section of the chapter. First ask a question for the next section. Then read to find the answer. Finally, recite the answer in your own words and jot it down. The written questions and answers can help you study in the future.

REVIEW

After completing the chapter, review your notes. Identify the main points by looking for the most important idea in each section. Recite, or write, a brief summary of the assignment.

Review your study notes every week to help you remember the information. When it’s time to prepare for your tests, you’ll find you’ve created an invaluable study guide.

Student Success Statement

“The law of success…..Is concentration; to bend all the energies to one point, and to go directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor the left.”

William Mathews

In order to succeed you need to be able to go through the task given unto you. For example to get an “A” in a class you would first need to do all the work. No work, no success, and no “A” so just failure is waiting.

Question

As you survey the text, ask question for each section. Ask what, why, how, when, who and where questions as they relate to the content. Here’s how you can create questions:

·      Turn the title, headings or subheadings into questions.

·      Rewrite the questions at the end of the chapter or after each subheading in your own words.

Write down your questions. Questions help you pay attention, understand the text better and recall the information more easily later on.

Read

Read one section of the chapter at a time, actively looking for an answer to your question for that section. Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.

Be sure to review everything in the section, including tables, graphs and illustrations----these features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.

TIP 5: KEEP A LIST OF QUESTIONS

When you feel confused about something you’re reading, write down any questions you have. Sometimes your questions are answered as you read further. If not, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Remember teachers create assignments; they’ve read texts and are familiar with them. When you have specific questions, your teachers can provide answers that will help you better understand the material. Learning is rooted in questions developed and asked by the learner.

 Asking questions to yourself, to the teacher, and to the others, is a great learning method. When you cease to ask questions, you cease to exist to a great extent. Read actively by silently asking questions as you read. Questioning immerse you into the material you are reading and therefore will expand your mental capacities more than almost anything else.

The philosopher Sir Francis Bacon said, “Knowledge is power.” Improving your reading comprehension is the key to gaining important knowledge and making the most of your education. So pick up a book … and a pen.

Try Your Best

Student Success Statement

“When I was teaching basketball, I urged my players to try their hardest to improve on that very day, to make that practice a masterpiece.

This rule is even more important in life than basketball. You have to apply yourself each day to become a little better. By applying yourself to the task of becoming a little better each and every day over a period of time, you will become a lot better. Only then will you be able to approach being the best you can be. It begins by trying to make each day count and knowing you can never make up for lost a day.”

John Wooden

This statement is showing me that if try my best each day, my best will improve little by little. Then over a period of time I will be at my peak. But this rule isn’t just for sports or physical activities; this can be used in everyday life. For example you can use this at work to become the best employer or you can use this technique at school to best the best student and achieve highly academically.

Tip 3: Do Research

Literary critic has written vast numbers of analytical and critical pieces on countless books. If you’re having trouble understanding a particular text, do some research and see what knowledge sources have to say about it. In addition to increasing your comprehension, you’ll also be showing initiative, something teachers always like to see. Always use legitimate and scholarly sources, not condensed study guides. Going the extra mile in your research elevates your achievement 10-fold.

Tip 4: Use a Dictionary

Make sure you have access to a dictionary when you’re reading. You can often figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar word by using context clues, but sometimes you can’t. Rather than simply skipping over the words you don’t know, take the time to look them up. The results are well worth the effort. Your comprehension will increase greatly. And you’ll build your vocabulary at the same time.
