I am a college junior reading on a 10th-grade level and looking for ways to improve my reading comprehension. Where can I find help? - College Junior
Answer: You are not alone with this problem, as close to 50 percent of all college students might be reading below the college skill level. Because this problem is so common, especially in community colleges, most colleges now have programs to help students improve their reading skills. You will find your best help with one of these programs, as they are designed for students like you.
You need to become an active reader to improve your comprehension. This literally means talking to yourself before, after and while reading a passage. It also involves taking notes, outlining what you have read, underlining key passages, and summarizing the material in your own words.
