Three Steps to Better Reading Comprehension

1. Carefully read the assigned pages, answering the questions in the margins (similar or identical questions may be on quizzes or tests!).
2. Review the corresponding "Essential Concepts" and "Key Terms" at the chapter's end. If you don't understand a concept or term, reread that section of the chapter or check the glossary at the back of the book . If you still have questions, ask for help (see below).
3. Answer the corresponding questions at the chapter's end.
4. Consult "Answers to Questions" at the back of the book to check your answers. If you don't understand something, first reread that section of the chapter. If you still have questions, ask for help (see below).

Getting Help (not necessarily in this order)

• Ask a classmate -- better yet, set up a study group to meet regularly.
• Ask a laboratory assistant or professor during lab or schedule an appointment.
• Send an e-mail message to Dr. Morgan (wmorgan@wooster.edu) or Dr. Fraga (fraga@wooster.edu). We will post responses of general interest.
