Read onto find out why.  \nMaybe you already like to read and want to use this book to sharpen your skills for an important test. If so, that’s fine. In fact, you can skip this part of the Introduction—or skip the Introduction entirely—and go straight to the questions.  \nBut maybe you’re one of the millions of people who have trouble with reading, especially with reading carefully while reading quickly. If so, this Introduction will give you some direction.  \nFirst, know that you’re not alone. It’s a fact that some people relate more easily to numbers or to working with their hands. Still, no other general skill is used more regularly—in work, play, and just plain living—than reading. The good news is that reading well is a skill that can be developed with practice. This book will help, but something else will help even more: If you’re serious about developing your reading comprehension skills, go to the library or a bookstore and pick out books on subjects you find fascinating. For instance, if your interests are in skydiving, biking, golf, scuba diving, race cars, camping, woodworking, or even the stock market, use that as a  \n501 Reading Comprehension Questions  \nstarting point, and choose a book.

Repeat the process over and over again. As you do, you will improve your reading comprehension skills, and it won’t even seem like a chore.  \nA Look at Our Book  \nThe first five sections cover the basics—from vocabulary to topic sentences.  \n501 Reading Comprehension Questions, 4th Edition begins with vocabulary because that’s what you need to read—the essential building blocks.
