Chapter 1: Successful Attitudes Toward Reading and Learning

Before reading this chapter, I knew that the reading was going to be about staying focused in college. What I wanted to know about this chapter was what more is there to college reading and how would we approach studying habits. In the reading, it did not only described about staying focused in college, but also it gave tips on how you can resolve problematic issues in your reading and how you can approach different methods in learning. I learned that there were a variety of different learning styles for each individual and that when you read an article/passage it is important to be comprehensive. Being a comprehensive reader wil help you identify clearly and evaluate on what you know or don't know about the topic/issue/article. Overall, this chapter helped me explore new ideas of how to study, learn, and identify our own reading strengths. Also, I would like to know more about using our comprehension to gather the only important or necessary information in an assigned reading.
