This is one
of my pet peeves – lack of reading comprehension - it sure makes a mess of
communication! Impossible – in most instances!
I comment on
several forums, often linking to articles by different authors for further
reading and edification. In fact, as I note on my website, it is by reading the writings
of others that I have and continue to learn daily – literally!
Sure enough,
more often than not, someone will reply to one of my comments totally missing
the point. First, they won’t read what I linked, then they latch on to a word
or phrase which might be familiar to them and off they go promulgating ‘profundities’
which have little or nothing to do with the topic. When I question their
reading comprehension – yup, they get offended.
Conversation?
Ended!
Now here is
the really shocking factor – most of these folks are over 50! Can you imagine ‘DaYouts’
of today?
Today we
posted - Worse

Is there a connection? I think it’s YUUGE! I recall having to pass
English exams in high school where reading comprehension was a YUUGE part! What
happened?
So I proceeded to word search ‘reading comprehension’ in the Limbraw Library
- https://crushlimbraw.blogspot.com/search?q=reading+comprehension
– the first 3 articles after this post are on point and helpful for any parent or tutor – don’t
rely on your teacher!
Here is the section in the library on Education –
only 637 articles – a word search for specifics might be better-:)
Keep mentoring!
