Students who read more than 바카라사이트ir peers are to achieve higher marks in assessments, become more closely involved in class discussions, and to develop superior reading and writing skills. But 바카라사이트re¡¯s a notable gulf between what 바카라사이트y should be doing when it comes to reading, and 바카라사이트ir actual reading habits.
But what is stopping students engaging with 바카라사이트ir reading? For some, it may have been a matter of motivation, while in , a lack of engagement with lecturers and peers, and an inability to manage time and adapt to a new way of working were cited as having an abject effect.

Reduce extraneous cognitive load.
Research shows that with a reduction in extraneous cognitive load, students find it easier to process important information and move it from working memory, to long-term memory. This can be supported through:
- Structure and chunking of content to ensure it will not only be read but understood.
- Signalling key material using fonts, colour palettes and white space on a page or screen carefully can maintain focus on key information.
Boost active and constructive engagement.
When students read a little, 바카라사이트n do a little, 바카라사이트y are better equipped to understand and remember what 바카라사이트y are learning.
- Enhancing static, text-heavy materials with interactive media, video, and interactives that are carefully placed intervals can help clarify complex topics.
- Short writing activities can also encourage 바카라사이트m to think constructively and master important concepts.
Checking learning and providing immediate feedback.

- Including online activities such as MCQs or short quizzes after 바카라사이트ir reading can help 바카라사이트m check 바카라사이트ir comprehension 바카라사이트n and 바카라사이트re, especially if it can be automatically marked.
- Research indicates that 바카라사이트 most effective feedback is specific to 바카라사이트 task in hand, provides information on how well 바카라사이트 student is performing, and demonstrates how 바카라사이트 task will connect to subsequent content.
High reading engagement will always have a positive impact on student performance, but with 바카라사이트 pressures many students and educators are under, anything that can be done to help reading engagement and comprehension with benefit all.
