How do you learn best?
Some people learn best by listening. Try listening to recorded books or
information and people talking.
Some people learn best by seeing. Try watching videos, looking at posters,
flashcards, or textbooks with pictures.
Some people learn best by doing. Try drawing pictures and diagrams and
making things with your hands, then describing what you have done.
There are many good ways to learn. Choose activities that work for you.
Tips for understanding and remembering what you read…
Before you read, look at the title, pictures, and headings. Can you guess the
topic and main ideas? This prepares your mind to learn.
Underline or highlight important ideas.
Draw pictures and diagrams about important ideas.
Write notes about the text. Read a paragraph. Cover the paragraph and
tell yourself what it was about.
Read groups of two or three words together. Groups of two or three words
have more meaning than single words.
If you don’t know a word, say the word out loud. Maybe you will know the
meaning if you hear it.
If you don’t know a word, read the sentence it comes from and try to guess the
meaning.
Remember that you don’t always need to understand every word.
Tips for learning new vocabulary…
Write down important new words you hear and read. Keep a vocabulary
journal.
Use flashcards to practice; write a new word or expression on one side of a
piece of paper or an index card. Write the definition, or draw a picture on the
other side. Review your words regularly. You can even practice on the bus or
during a coffee break.
Use your new words in conversation and in writing every day.
