Writing and reading go hand-in-hand, so learning these reading strategies can actually make you a better writer.
A list of tips and tricks (with explanations) that will help you become a better writer. Some of the strategies are listed below:
* Close reading (as in reading slowly, highlighting, taking notes...read carefully as opposed to quickly);

Although some of these tips are helpful they are not specific enough when it come to actually reading. The title "Genius Reading Strategies" is overly exaggerated. Reading strategies do not come from a set of paragraphs.
I have to point out one specific comment made in this article about reading. Having to "read closely" as opposed to skimming throught the text. I agree to this comment however I expected for the author to define what close reading is? What type of questions arise in order to create close reading? What type of topics should be highlighted? how exactly do you think critically? "Ask as many questions as you like" well what type of questions? I think this article could have done much better if it would have been thorough.
then again, we as Americans are always in find of quick and straight forward solutions to "becoming better" or to finding a solution.
