This book is designed to help you improve your reading comprehension skills by studying 20 minutes a
day for 20 days. You’ll start with the basics and move on to more complex reading comprehension and
critical thinking strategies. Please note that although each chapter can be an effective skill builder on its
own, it is important that you proceed through this book in order, from Lesson 1 through Lesson 20. Each lesson
builds on skills and ideas discussed in the previous chapters. As you move through this book and your reading
skills develop, the passages you read will increase both in length and in complexity.
The book begins with a pretest, which will allow you to see how well you can answer various kinds of reading
comprehension questions now, as you begin. When you finish the book, take the posttest to see how much
you’ve improved.
The text is divided into four sections, each focusing on a different group of related reading and thinking
strategies. These strategies will be outlined at the beginning of each section and then reviewed in a special “putting
it all together” fi nal lesson.
Each lesson provides several exercises that allow you to practice the skills you learn. To ensure you’re on
the right track, each lesson also provides answers and explanations for all of the practice questions. Additionally,
you will find practical suggestions in each chapter for how to continue practicing these skills in your daily life.
The most important thing you can do to improve your reading skills is to become an active reader. The following
guidelines and suggestions will familiarize you with active reading techniques. Use these techniques as
much as possible as you work your way through the lessons in this book.
