Q. How you can make your Reading better?

Ans: Techniques for Effective Reading:There are different strategies you can use when reading. Depending on the context, find and use the one that best suits the specific task in hand. This section briefly explains the techniques involved. It is based on the SQ3R system. Basically these are the steps involved:
1. Skimmed reading is to get an overview of the information and to alert your brain
2. Having questions prepared, so that you know what information you seek
3. Re-reading with increased focus and attention, and making notes
4. Recalling what you have learned, using summarising techniques
5. Reviewing the learned information as soon as you can, but within 24 hours 
In the process of becoming a better reader and to improve the reading skill, following techniques are involved:
❖ Skimming: (sometimes called “speed reading”) This is where you “surface” read very quickly to get the “gist” of a topic or an overview of the chapter/story/instructions/experiment/other. It is usually a preliminary reading, and if you find the information you require, you follow up with close reading for detailed information, where you will most likely make notes.
❖ Scanning: Where you are looking for specific answers to information, use the technique of scanning. Because you know exactly what questions you want answered, you speed-read and your eyes scan over the words/pages very quickly until they find what they are looking for. Then, rather like in a radar signal, the brain is alerted and focuses in on the details you require.
❖ Close Reading: This is when you have pinpointed what you need. Now you read with increased focus and attention, and it is at this stage that you will most likely make notes. If you are given questions at the end of the passage to guide you through the passage, then use these to find out the answers. Your purpose for reading may be to introduce you to, or increase your knowledge on a given subject . The key is to know what your purpose is, and to be prepared before you start.
EFFECTIVE READING TECHNIQUES 1. Look quickly (10 minutes) over the following key parts of your textbook to see what it's all about and how it is organized:   Title 
 Front and back cover info.   Author's biographical data   Publication date   Table of Contents   Introduction or Preface   Index   Glossary
2. Before you read each chapter, look over:   Title   Introduction   Sub-headings   First sentences of each paragraph (should give main idea).   Any diagrams, charts, etc.   Conclusions or summaries
3. Then answer the following questions:   What is this mainly about?   How is it organized?   How difficult is it?   About how long will it take to read?
