Comprehension Speed

Post by Tan123 »

My son takes a lot of time to read the comprehension and normally does not have enough time at the end to answer all the questions - so ends up not answering at least half of questions in the specified time.
Are there any suggestions to improve his reading speed and also to remember what he read.

My son was like that but got quicker just before test: 4 weeks maybe. We did about 20 papers. Didn't overdo it. He had passed 339/ needs 300 to pass.

I think it depends what area you are in? I think comprehension speed can only be improved with practise and more practise! Depending on the area and whether it is multiple choice or not, we used Athey, GL, First Past the Post and Bond.
