How important is it to be a good reader? And why is it needed for a good assignment?

By Daniel Barnes
Most of the students complain about academic life being tough and demanding. Moreover, they also state the fact that they don’t get the time to do decent assignment writing due to time constraints as well as other constraints involved. It is true that time constraints are real, as many students work part time to support themselves and the ability to balance academics with life’s commitments often drains down human beings easily. However, in order to prevent such Good reading and observing skills should be good as they are critical to a good assignment/course work/report/dissertation produced else the student has a very high probability of dropping scores in that particular course.

Though the United Kingdom has a very good education system with foundation year programs at key schooling levels in order to identify and remedy any issues pertaining to reading, writing, comprehension, understanding and analytical skills which have yielded good results. But the children of immigrant background i.e. those coming from Eastern and Southern Europe as well as other nations worldwide have not gone through the British themed foundation year program as they underwent foundation year programs in their respective nations. They have very good reasoning, analytical and calculation skills but there are things they lack the fluency skills of British English and that they are not accustomed to the British vocabulary which subsequently puts errors when they are writing assignments.

A good reader isn’t necessarily a nerd but rather a person with good observation skills as they are able to comprehend all instructions easily i.e. good reading skills makes assignment writing easy for them. Moreover, good readers also become good trainers and effective guides as it was once said “Readers are Leaders”. It doesn’t mean that a human has to be a bookworm; it means that whatever is written should be read with ease and calmness, and that the person must be able to understand whatever is written. It’s really important to read diligently in order to comprehend the instructions carefully, be able to cascade clear information to others and improvise on assignment writing as well. It is also needed for a good assignment as well so as to ensure that the student is able to make a good assignment that does not lose scores at any level and on any point. Apart from instructions, a good reader is able to put in additional but relevant material in the assignment which subsequently makes the assignment even better. What’s even better is that a good reader is able to pinpoint the necessary information to be added in the work to make it look, sound and score even better.

Reading is part of observation and understanding is another component of it, then comes comprehending it and to what extent has the person been able to comprehend what has been written about the incumbent task or work at hand.  The need for a good assignment involves good observation of recommended points, key points, key information as well as good research at hand to ensure the assignment does not fall off guard.
