Reading Services
The CTLE’s Reading Specialist offers individual consultations with students. Together, you’ll create an action plan that will help you be more successful with your studies!
When you meet with Christina Lenway, you will learn about:
- Active reading strategies
- Improved study and test-taking skills
- Goal setting and academic coaching
Stop by the CTLE to discuss how these techniques can increase your opportunity to achieve success. Academic success does not “happen.” Academic success is something the student makes “happen.”
Often when I read a page of text, I have no idea what I have read when I finish. Does this indicate a problem with my reading?
No! The brain is a powerful instrument that can process information much more quickly than we can read. When we just read text, it takes very little of our brain’s “power.” We have to use active reading techniques that increase the brain’s involvement in the task. These techniques also improve memory and recall.
I can study for hours, and it seems to have no effect. What am I doing wrong?
Your frustration is understandable. Let’s discuss your current study strategies and see how to enhance them for better productivity. Sometimes, using a new or different reading technique can make all the difference!
At this point, can my reading be improved?
Yes! Reading is a skill, and all skills can be improved with practice. What you’ll need is a commitment to improve your reading, and some strategies to help you succeed. Begin your journey to reading success with a visit to the CTLE’s Reading Specialist!
