In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Drawing connections between a reading and something that is familiar to you can also help you to retain more of the information. Try to draw connections between your existing knowledge and new concepts as you read. For example, if you are reading about a new concept in a biology textbook, try to relate it to a concept that you already understand. Another way to improve your reading comprehension is to look up words that are unfamiliar to you. If you do not understand a word, then it can make an entire sentence confusing. Take a moment to look up new words as you read. Try keeping a vocabulary journal where you record and define any words that are unfamiliar to you. You can also improve your reading comprehension by reading a text in smaller chunks and giving yourself breaks. For example, you could follow the Pomodoro system suggestion to take a quick break every 25 minutes. Set a timer for 25 minutes, read until it goes off, and then take a five minute break. Another option is to set a goal for how many pages you want to read. You could set a goal to read 10 pages and then give yourself a five minute break after you have done that. Try getting up and walking around or stretching for a few minutes during your breaks. You can also check your social media profile, watch a short video, or look up something that has been on your mind. Reading out loud is an effective strategy for teaching literacy skills to children. Children can understand more complex stories and information when they hear it than when they read it silently. Reading out loud is also extremely helpful for editing your writing. Therefore, reading a text out loud may help you to make connections, understand a difficult text, and retain more of what you read. You don't have to read the entire text out loud, but reading certain passages out loud may be helpful. For example, if a passage is confusing, or if you are having trouble staying focused, then reading out loud for a few paragraphs may help.
Summary: Connect the reading to something familiar. Define new words as you read. Complete the reading in small chunks. Try reading out loud.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can find denatured alcohol at your local hardware store or online. Give the alcohol time to absorb into the paint and break it up so it's easier to remove. Apply pressure to the brush and scrub in a back and forth motion, bringing the bristles of the brush over the entire surface of the stain. Dispose of the rag when you're finished. Make sure the area of hardwood floor is dry when you're finished.
Summary: Blot denatured alcohol onto the stain using a rag. Let the denatured alcohol soak into the paint stain for several minutes. Use a scrub brush to scrub the paint off the hardwood floor. Rub off the remaining paint using the rag with denatured alcohol on it. Wipe off any excess denatured alcohol with a paper towel.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Have a bottle of mineral spirits and a bucket of warm water with detergent at the ready. Discard this into the bin. This will absorb a lot of what melts, reducing how much mopping up you'll need to do. This step is optional but advisable; if you don't have this towel, you can still heat the wax directly. Hold over the wax to melt it. Go over it as much as is needed to melt the most wax. You'll need to lift up the terry toweling rag to check you're getting it all. Clean away the mineral spirits with the detergent and warm water. Allow to air dry.
Summary:
Prepare the cleansers. Use a putty knife or similar scraper to remove as much wax as possible. Place a terry towel rag over the top of the wax. Set the hair dryer to its hottest temperature. Wipe up the melted wax with the mineral spirits and a rag or kitchen paper towel. Repeat if needed.
