Reflection
Having to learn new words in class has helped me progress in my reading skills. I now approach new vocabulary in a different way. Now when coming to an unfamiliar word in the text I’m reading I highlight the word look it up in a dictionary and have a second look at the text until it makes sense. By doing this I have a better understanding of what I’m reading. And by understanding what I’m reading I am able to perform better on tests and quizzes. With knowing new vocabulary I now have a more wide-ranging choice of word to choose from thus improving not only my reading but my writing skills too. The more I practice these new words the longer I can remember these new terms. In the past I couldn’t get a good grasp on learning new words but now with these new methods of learning I am able to learn new words not only in the classroom but also in everyday situations. Now knowing these words I am confident enough to say if I were to hear them outside of class I would be able to identify with them. I end up doing more poorly on test for unknown reasons I know the words I’ve done the homework and I’ve put aside my study time and still do not perform as well as I should when coming to test . This is an area I need help in, preparing for tests. But with these methods I’ve since an improvement from in past reading classes where I’ve done unsuccessfully on tests.

Well i'm proud of you that you are able to progess in your learning of knew words. i hope that you continue to read and procced in your words.
ReplyDeleteI personally connect with you on understanding what I am reading now. I agree that the more you practice the word that it is easier to remember. I liked the part how you are using the new methods that we have learned in class. Have you considered using flash cards to help you study? I personally found that helpful to me when I was studying the vocabulary.
ReplyDeleteThis reflection that you have done is good, because many people have problems when they read. But you have said that reading gives good improvement and, its write because many people have problems understanding and remembering. This is because there are some people that when a test comes there mind goes blank, and this problem I have had, because I know a lot about a book. In the day off the test my mind can go blank, or even I can have problems with my health. This is why reading is good and gives a lot of strength.
