Reading Skills

NC Global’s Effective Reading Instruction provides students with appropriate reading techniques applicable to various types of texts in order to gain maximum comprehension and retention. Effective reading is highly strategic, and it involves the interaction of the eyes and the brain. It requires absorbing information in order to create a more direct connection between vision, comprehension, and retention- and that’s just the mechanics! Effective reading is also about active reading:

• Utilizing context and concept
• Involving emotion and reason
• Forming opinions and taking sides
• Becoming a part of the story
• Imagining you are a character or a bystander
• Absorbing information in a context rather than in a vacuum
• Considering setting and character development
