Are you having trouble with reading comprehension questions on
tests? Do you want to know how to improve your reading ability or pass
placement tests in school or work? If so, then this book is for you. Read on
to 裿nd out why.
Maybe you already like to read and want to use this book to sharpen
your skills for an important test. If so, that’s 裿ne. In fact, you can skip
this part of the Introduction—or skip the Introduction entirely—and go
straight to the questions.
But maybe you’re one of the millions of people who have trouble with
reading, especially with reading carefully while reading quickly. If so, this
Introduction will give you some direction.
First, know that you’re not alone. It’s a fact that some people relate more
easily to numbers or to working with their hands. Still, no other general skill
is used more regularly—in work, play, and just plain living—than reading.
The good news is that reading well is a skill that can be developed with prac- tice. This book will help, but
something else will help even more: If you’re
serious about developing your reading comprehension skills, go to the
library or a bookstore and pick out books on subjects you 裿nd fascinating.
For instance, if your interests are in skydiving, biking, golf, scuba diving,
race cars, camping, woodworking, or even the stock market, use that as starting point, and choose a book. The subject will undoubtedly draw you
in because you are already interested. Begin to read. You will �nd that as
you focus on the subject matter, you will already know some of the infor- mation. But chances are you will
discover something new as you read, and
you can connect this with your prior knowledge. Eventually, your store of
information becomes quite admirable. Repeat the process over and over
again. As you do, you will improve your reading comprehension skills, and
it won’t even seem like a chore.
