Main ideas of each paragragh

Myth1

There is no need to every word.

Does every word have actual meaning?

Myth2

Reading once is not enough. Determine the main idea and identify the parts that need careful reading.

Many college students fell that something must be wrong with their brain power if they must read a textbook chapter more than once.

Confused:To be sure, there are students for whom one exposure to an idea in a basic course is enough, but they either have read extensively or have an excellent background or a high degree of interest in the subject.

Myth3

It's OK to skip some

Don't feel guilty about it!!!!

some books are to be nibbled and tasted, some are to be swallowed whole, and a few need to be thoroughly chewed and digested no matter how trivial the content.

Myth4

Speed has nothing to do with comprehension

Don't question your brain, or it will be distracted.

Myth5

Your brain instead of your eyes.

I feel enlightened after reading five myths of reading. Firstly, it sweeps away my old beliefs in reading, which make me question myself constantly about my reading ablility. When I'm worry about my reading ability while I'm reading, I'm actually blocking my way towards a faster speed and better reading comprehension.

More importantly, it shows me a new method of reading, which depends on different books. Identify what parts are  worth reading in a passage and locate quickly until get what we want is the very most important thing in reading, instead of getting through the whole passage without knowing what we have got.

Nowadays, many books are for reference purposes, so the ability of acquiring information must be enhanced.

The first step to improve our reading ability is to believe in our brain, which has infinite potential.
