Unlocking Meaning in Texts

Reading comprehension is more than just reading the words—it's about understanding what the text means, making inferences, and drawing conclusions.

Key Strategies

  • Identifying Main Ideas: Focus on what the passage is mostly about.
  • Making Inferences: Use clues from the text to figure out information not directly stated.
  • Summarizing: Restate the main points in your own words.
  • Finding Evidence: Support your answers with details from the passage.

Why It Matters

Good comprehension skills help you answer questions accurately, understand complex information, and enjoy reading more—crucial for the TACHS exam and real life!

Examples

  • After reading a story about teamwork, you infer that cooperation helps achieve goals.

  • You summarize a paragraph about recycling by stating its main idea in one sentence.
