The Most Important Skill for Learning is Reading

Millicent St. Claire - the Most Important Skill

Did you know that the most important skill for learning is reading? Think about it – you have to read in every subject, including math! The whole of our existence is about communication – and words are king in that they convey lots of detail, ideas, information and valuable genius insights. You must read in order to prepare for tests and even write your papers.

Sometimes reading can see seem like a daunting task. Not to worry. The first thing to consider is that reading is simply a conversation with the author. If you can get yourself relaxed and in the right state of mind, you’ll find that you may be able to actually hear the author speaking to you. You’re reading his writing and he is speaking into your listening. It’s a dynamic relationship and you are important to the author!

In addition to the directions from your professor, consider what is the author is saying and what value it offers for your assignment. In addition to text books, you may have articles, newspapers, journals and information from the web.

The trick is to transform your perception of reading into one of enjoyment and conversation and keep pace with your reading assignments so that you don’t fall behind.

And on one final note, when reading, remember to look up every word you don’t know so you can expand your vocabulary! Be active and adopt a positive attitude towards reading. For the rest of your life, it is one of the most important skill for learning and for communicating ideas.

Smiles!
