My only reading skills is rereading and rereading passages I don’t understand and looking up words I don’t know. Other than that I didn’t really go in depth with books. Now my reading skills have improved quite a bit but it is all with practice. I lately have been pausing between a couple pages and reflecting on what is going on. What has happened? What will happen? And I ask myself all kinds of question so I could just understand and not get lost. My worst reading habit I used to have was if I didn’t understand I just hoped that if I kept reading id figure out where I was and still continue on. That is the worst mistakes I did because I would finish the book and not remember anything I read. Practicing and getting into a habit is hard but not impossible and hopefully throughout this class I pick up better habits. Another habit I have picked up is trying to figure out themes and how they have changed while getting to know the characters in the book The Flowers. I remember trying to begin this book and I got lost on the first five pages. I hope people know what I’m talking about and am not the only one who experienced this in the beginning. The good thing is getting into the habit of rereading helped. Comment if there is any errors I would appreciate it J
