Reading and understanding properly is a skill that can be developed with practice. It is important to pay attention to the text and to actively engage with it.

Start by taking note of the structure of the text. Look at the title, headings, and subheadings. These will give an indication of the content and the main ideas. Skim the text quickly to get a general understanding of what it is about.

Then, make sure to read with focus and attention. Don’t rush through the text - focus on understanding the main points and the ideas. As you read, take note of the key words and phrases, and make some mental summaries of what you have read.

Check your understanding as you go along. If something is not clear, re-read the section and make sure you understand the content. Take breaks if you need to - this will help you to stay focused.

Finally, ask yourself if you have understood the main ideas and if you can summarise what you have read. Doing this will help you to check your understanding and to remember the key points.
