Focus on the Why
Think about how what the author is saying contributes to the overall purpose of the passage. I try to reflect on this after every paragraph or so.
Focus on the Big picture
I used to get bogged down trying to memorize every single detail and lost sight of the main point and the purpose of the passage.
Ask yourself: Are you a good reader?
Business 101: To solve a problem, you must first identify the problem. Once I realized that I am not the strongest reader is when the improvements started to flood in. I started to look at reading as a skill that takes practice. I have made a tremendous amount of improvement in my reading ability since my revelation, which has led to improvement in RC. But I still have much room for improvement!
Be patient
