It’s the exam season now, how are your kids coping? Have the tempers soared up yet? We discussed the importance of setting a routine for study in the previous blog. Now let us focus on another essential aspect that can help you reap great success in your examinations – reading. Now, what do I mean here when I say reading? How critical a factor can it be for your examinations? How can one do it properly? Read on to watch the knots get untied.
Careful reading and not skimming
By reading what we are intending is careful reading. Is there something called careless reading then? If there is something as such, what differentiates between them? Coming to the point, reading can produce different results based on the intensity of the process. From the examinations and learning point of view, what we require is careful reading. This requires a lot more concentration and dedication than ordinary fast-paced reading. It generally takes a lot more time as it involves not merely a repetition of the printed words but also requires digestion of the facts, meanings and concepts which those words hold. Deep and careful reading can give great clarity of concept and help in boosting the scores of the students. Although it requires a considerable amount of time, the benefits arising out of the action outweigh the effort that is required.
A fresh state of mind
Now there is no guide to teach your kid how to be more focused while reading. This is something that truly cannot be taught. As parents, what you can do for your kids who are facing the heat of examinations is to provide them with conditions that will facilitate careful reading. The most important thing for careful reading is a conducive frame of mind. How can we ensure that our kids possess this? The mind is fresh after sleep and this is a good time to let your kids do some reading. The early hours in the morning are the most ideal time to set your kids to read for their exams. If it is later in the day, power naps can also grant a certain degree of freshness to the mind, which in turn paves the way for more careful reading.
The Ideal location and ambience
Careful reading among children is almost incapable of being implemented in noisy and chaotic surroundings. During this exam season, ensure that your kid’s study area is free from any unwanted noise if it already isn’t. Ensure that your child is comfortable and feels at ease in the study area.
As the exam season gets into full swing, a lot of hard work is being put in by parents and students with the intention of getting excellent results. Careful reading is something that shouldn’t be overlooked as it plays a very vital role in helping students understand questions better and answer them flawlessly.
