Q:

What is the most important factor in improving reading skills?

Answer

Reading is one of the main methods we use to acquire data and information in the contemporary world. In order to read a text, a person should have a basic understanding of how sounds are represented alphabetically. For doing this, a goal could be something like finding the main idea about a reading topic or locating the supporting details for that topic.


To improve your reading skills, you need to be aware of these three important areas of reading improvement:


1. Understanding adaptability.


2. Increasing reading comprehension.


3. Increasing reading rate.


 


Understanding adaptability and Increasing reading comprehension are the most important factors in improving reading skills.
