Comprehension means understanding what you have read; or understanding what the writer is trying to express to you.<\/p>\n

The key to comprehension is to have a good grasp of the English language: understand English words, phrases and expressions, as well as literary devices.<\/p>\n

Indeed a good vocabulary will greatly aid your comprehension skills. Words are like keys which unlock the hidden meanings behind a work of poetry or prose.<\/p>\n

The comprehension lessons which will be covered under this heading will aid any student of English to become a better, faster and more fluent reader.<\/p>\n

They will also greatly aid the student of CXC English to master comprehension exercises and questions.<\/p>\n

I will be discussing quite a few comprehension passages from the book “A Comprehensive English Course for CXC”, as well as other comprehension passages taken from other sources.<\/p>\n

You will be carefully guided into understanding the meanings embedded into complex passages. Long sentences and vague meanings will be demystified and made absolutely clear.<\/p>\n

Have fun reading these lessons on comprehension by Patrick Carpen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
