In the lecture, we reviewed the reading process and how we can use this process to increase our comprehension and understanding
of what we’re reading. The reading process involves many active reading steps, such as questioning, surveying, taking notes, and reflecting/recalling. For your initial post complete the following: Share your experience with a time when you had to read some challenging material. This material could be personal, professional, or academic in nature. Explain why you had to read the material and what made it particularly challenging. Also, tell what the outcome of the reading was. For example, did you eventually get the information you needed to get out of it? Did you have to ask for help or clarification? Did you make a mistake which affected the outcome of the situation? After sharing the outcome, share one skill you learned about through learning about the reading process that would have improved your outcome in the situation you shared.
The above question requires a personal answer about your reading experience, for that reason, I can't write an answer for you, but I'll show you how to do it.
It is common that we have to read difficult texts, which need to be read thoroughly and with a strategy that helps us to understand. Based on this, you should search your memory for a time when you had difficulty reading and understanding a text.
After remembering that moment, you can write your answer as follows:
Introduce the characteristics of the text that you might have difficulty reading.
Introduce why you felt difficult.
Show the techniques you used to make the text easier to read and increase your comprehension of the text.
Show if these techniques were effective.
Show your mistakes when trying to understand the text.
Show what you learned from it.
