Using what we learned in everyday life..

In class a couple weeks ago we learned about critical reading and the important of it. We all have to read whether its for class, ingredients, or a newspaper. Sometimes we read and miss the main point of the book or paper. Professor Goldstein give us tips on how to in prove our reading skills.
The skills are:
1. Take your time
2. Title- tells about the reading
3. Background/summary
4. Look for main points
5. Look for Sub points
6. Identify important quotes
7. Apply what we have learned

These skills helped me in many of my other classes. To take the time to break everything down made it easier to understand the materials i was learning. I was telling my little sisters about these skills and they said they were going to try it the next time they read. These skills are also a great thing to teach your students when they are starting to learn how to read.
