Many times we read a text very quickly and later we complain that we have not found out what it said. We simply read the content at the maximum possible speed, and then we asked ourselves what was it saying? Do not worry if it happens to you. The problem is quite simple, since you have understood wrong what it put and, therefore, you have not understood. The culprit of the fact is speed.
However, it can also happen that, although we read slowly and carefully, we also do not understand what is in front of us. In this case, it is a much more complicated problem, since we are making efforts that are not working. However, thanks to this example you can get an idea of why we say that comprehension when reading something is vital.
Understanding does exactly what its name suggests, that is, grasp what we are reading or studying. This is vital, since to memorize something it is necessary, in a certain way, that we can understand it. If we don't, it will be much more difficult to learn what we need, and our efforts will have to be stronger to meet our goal.
At your disposal you have a lot of means that will allow you to understand in a better way. However, we recommend that you practice reading, and then asking yourself questions to find out if you have understood what you have reviewed before. It is a fairly simple task, but it will give you surprising results. In short, understanding is essential, so we recommend that you take it into account in your studies.
