Effective strategies for improving reading comprehension include previewing and predicting, skimming and scanning, identifying main ideas and supporting details, making connections with prior knowledge, and summarizing and synthesizing information. Previewing and predicting involve previewing the text for key information, such as titles, headings, and illustrations, and making predictions about the content based on this information. Skimming and scanning techniques help quickly locate specific information or main ideas within the text. Identifying main ideas and supporting details involves distinguishing between essential information and supporting details and understanding how they relate to each other. Making connections with prior knowledge helps activate background knowledge and improve comprehension by relating new information to existing knowledge. Summarizing and synthesizing information require synthesizing key points and main ideas from the text and summarizing them in your own words, which enhances comprehension and retention.
