Title: Study unit 10 Lesson
Course: Communication Skills > Section: WEEK 10: THE READING SKILL II: READING FOR COMPREHENSION

Comprehensive reading is a core activity which will enable you to learn and gain a great deal of knowledge from your studies. It’s not a passive exercise as we have already seen in unit 9 and as such it’s not where ideas run through you, but rather, an activity where you make sense out of an idea and then apply it. During this process, you set targets, highlight major ideas and question them as you relate with your own experience or prior knowledge. In this units, we are going to look at how we can use our reading skills to get the best out of courses/ disciplines.
