ENJOY A PART FROM MY UPCOMING THRILLER: THE HAT HUNTER C hap t e r   1 MANU AGREES TO TAKE THE CASE Hotel Chandra at Patna, in the state capital of Bihar was a sensible place to meet him, Manu, my old college friend at NIT, Patna. Even today, our gang chatted often about how he used to examine cases of towel exchange and missing under wears from the hostel premises. Once, examining the case of stolen bicycle from the hostel, he had caught hold of son of our professor and the Prof had threatened him in return that he would ensure that he never gets his final Grad certificates. I too had naughty, near and dear moments together with Manu and my college gang and Manu today’s top sleuth of CBI was quite noticeable in the lot. I never knew, whether he probed and got similar results even now! However, last week Times Day named him ‘King Detective’ after he cracked the case of absconding Kalya, a million dollar corporate. I liked his journey from amateur de...

VISUAL MAPS FOR BETTER COMPREHENSION Have you tried reading with these scientific techniques, which are proven to increase the comprehension? Who wins the war, not necessarily an army with higher number of soldiers or fighting jets. Resources are only one side of the coin, the other side is how you utilize them effectively. In the same way, memory and logic both are invaluable resources for comprehension, but both of these can be augmented or compensated through using some techniques, e.g. Graphic Organizer.

Visual Maps and Graphic organizers: Instead of writing about route from one place to other people prefer to draw it and so on a map. Map is an effective way to augment comprehension. Teachers use diagrams to augment comprehension. However, when we read ourselves, we hardly use mapping techniques to develop understanding. When you study a story, an argument or a problem, you find the...

Increasing Reading Comprehension in Kids Kids are mostly not interested in the stuff they read and many times they are told to memorize the stuff, if they find it difficult to comprehend. That makes things worse. As a teacher or as a parent our job is to explore and Link - what they are studying with what they have already studied, felt, visited or read before. Make them feel one way, ask them- whether they like the topic or dislike it. Let them be on one side of the debate or story. Ask for their views. These are found to sharpen focus and increase depth of understanding.  Link to their areas of liking and if required even discuss reward points. Focus on creating real learning. Life is never about clearing a class with good marks but most of the times about the actual learning of the mind. Have long term goals for your kids. Happy Learning!
