Identify two reading goals, one short-term and one long-term.
Long-term reading goal: Comprehend what I am reading while I am in College.
Short-term reading goal: Comprehend what I am reading for my Foundations of University Studies class.
Write a 100- to 150-word response to each of the following questions:
How do you currently approach the weekly readings in the course?
I give myself a couple of hours on Tuesday afternoons while my kids are napping to do the reading. If the discussion questions coincide with the reading I will answer them before I move onto a next chapter and next questions. If I haven’t done them on Tuesday afternoon I do them Tuesday night. I quite frequently reference the reading throughout the week to make sure I am answering any other questions and doing the assignments correctly. That also helps me remember what I’ve read.
How might you incorporate three of the suggestions covered this week into your study time?
1.) Read through the document and if necessary reread it to fully comprehend the entire thing.
2.) Make flash cards for any unknown words that may be important and have a friend or family member quiz you. Doing this over and over will help to keep the word in your head.
3.) Marking, such as; highlighting, underlining, and writing in the margins is a great way to study. I must make sure I’ve read it all the way through because everything can seem important at first, rereading helps put the entire section in perspective.
How might this plan help you accomplish your reading goals?
It will help me comprehend the things that I do not know or am having trouble understanding in my long term and short term goals. Marking will help me find out what I need to study by showing me what’s important. Flash cards are also a great study guide for unknown terms that may be important. Reading an entire document and then rereading it will help me comprehend all of the material
