   In a student's academic journey, reading comprehension is a crucial skill. Whether in the classroom or during exams, strong reading comprehension abilities are essential for success. At Le Xue Education, we are dedicated to helping students enhance their reading comprehension skills and achieve better results in exams like the PSLE. Here are some key strategies we share with our students:
Importance of Understanding the Question:
We emphasize the importance of carefully reading and understanding the question before attempting to answer. Understanding the question is the first step to ensuring a correct response. With five questions in a reading comprehension passage, students should develop the habit of identifying key words in the questions.
Skim the Passage:
Before diving into the passage, we recommend students to quickly skim through the entire text to grasp the content of the story and gain a preliminary understanding of the article's theme and structure. This helps build an overall understanding of the article's content, laying the foundation for answering subsequent questions.
Focus on Details:
Details are crucial in reading comprehension questions. Students should pay attention to key words, timelines, locations, and any details that provide background information or support the author's viewpoint. Carefully examining the context surrounding key words often leads to finding the answers to the questions. Additionally, using the process of elimination, students can eliminate obviously incorrect options and select the correct answer from the remaining choices.
Grasp the Main Idea:
Students should be able to identify the central idea of the passage and extract the author's viewpoint, attitude, or intention. This helps maintain consistency and accuracy when answering questions. For the final question, a deeper understanding of the passage's theme, purpose, insights, and lessons is required to verify the answers.
Here is an example of one of the questions in Reading Comprehension:

Diverse Question Types:
Le Xue Education's teachers guide students to become familiar with various types of reading comprehension questions, including character-based questions, reaction-based questions, and open-ended questions. Through targeted practice, students can enhance their problem-solving abilities.
Time Management:
Proper time allocation is crucial during exams. Students need to allocate time wisely between reading and answering questions, ensuring they can complete all questions within the specified time and leave time for checking and revising answers.

Le Xue Education believes that through the practice and guidance of these key strategies, students can make significant progress in reading comprehension and achieve better results in exams. Feel free to contact us if you would like to learn more about our educational services.
