Reading Between Lines
Understanding the hidden meaning or intention behind explicitly stated words is known as reading between the lines.
Many writers do not directly state what they mean but present ideas in a more indirect, round about way. ( What do you infer from these lines ? What does the author imply in lines…..? )
Reasons for Poor Comprehension
Inability to understand a word / sentence
Inability to understand how sentences relate to one another
Lack of interest or concentration
Inability to understand how the information fits together in a meaningful way
Ways to improve your Reading Comprehension
Skim the passage for overall understanding and to grasp the main idea.
Use intensive reading techniques to get the contextual meaning
Read a variety of materials. Don't limit yourself to books.
Circle unknown or unfamiliar words as you read.
After reading, recall , jot down and check for accuracy and completeness.
Answer the questions about the material after reading it.
Answer to the point even if the answer is in few words or just one word.
