What are the best ways to improve reading comprehension, critical reading and source analysis skills?

Answer 1

The best way to improve these skills is to read frequently. Whether it is a novel, a scholarly article, or any other sort of source, reading will help anyone with comprehension. To practice, you can also summarize what you read after finishing each chapter, page, or paragraph. Always try to remember what the author's main point is. It could also help to underline what is important (if you can write inside the book) while reading or take brief notes after each paragraph. There is no cut-and-dry way to improve these skills; it just comes with practice.
