2. Understanding language is an automatic task. Sounds or letters strike our ears
or eyes in a swift and linear fashion creating words, which in turn very quickly form
phrases, clauses, and sentences. Comprehension is more than the recognition of a
sequential string of linguistic symbols. Readers and listeners use a great deal of
information other than the actual language being produced to help them decipher the
linguistics symbols they hear or see.
3. 5 Easy Ways to Remember and Understand Reading
Long-Term
1. Use HOTS thinking mode.
2. Scanning reading technique.
3. How to quickly understand reading by skimming.
4. Make a mind map.
5. Apply repetition.
4. What we hear and see is influenced by psycholinguistics variables, not
just the accurate perceptions of the sequence of sounds or words to hit our ears
and eyes.
Pay attention to both the actual words and for other clues to meaning,
such as tone of voice or writing style. Look for opportunities for clarification
and feedback.
Communication involves the sharing and understanding of meaning. To
fully share and understand, practice active listening and reading so that you are
fully attentive, fully present in the moment of interaction.

7. Ask questions only to ensure understanding.
8. Try to feel what the speaker is feeling.

6. Here are some tips to facilitate active listening and
reading:
● Maintain eye contact with the speaker; if reading, keep your eyes on
the page.
● Don’t interrupt; if reading, don’t multitask.
● Focus your attention on the message, not your internal monologue.
● Restate the message in your own words and ask if you understood
correctly.
● Ask clarifying questions to communicate interest and gain insight.
