As a professional lecturer who teaches copywriting and content marketing, not only do people often discuss with me issues related to improving writing skills, but from time to time, friends also ask me how to improve my reading speed and critical thinking skills.

Faced with this problem, I have also set up courses in the past to teach everyone to improve their reading skills. Now, if you wanted to ask me the same question, I think I would smile and say: “Well, let’s start by reading a lot of books, newspapers and magazines, and then bravely write down your own viewpoint!”

Today, I just had the opportunity to read the new book “[High-Level Reading and Thinking: Taught by famous teachers in Jianzhong, overcome the obstacles of reading long articles of 10,000 words, quickly grasp the key points, and learn to be more effective than cramming]” (https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products /0010900135?utm_source=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-202108)》, I feel very good, so I would like to recommend it to everyone.

The author of this book [Teacher Huang Chunmu] (https://flipedu.parenting.com.tw/article/3370) teaches at Taipei Municipal Jianguo Senior High School. He has won the Taipei City Special Outstanding Teacher, the Ministry of Education Teacher-Tutor Award and other honors. He is not only a senior teacher, but also an expert in teaching students to think. He has served as the convener of Jianzhong’s “Humanities and Social Sciences Talent Class” for many years.

As the name suggests, this book teaches everyone about reading and thinking techniques. Teacher Huang believes that if you want to improve your reading and thinking abilities, you must start with daily accumulation. Try to dismantle the necessary elements for effective reading and thinking, and follow the graphic explanations and example exercises in this book to lay down the foundation of independent thinking and independent learning step by step:

• Reading Comprehension: How to understand an article? What is the main idea of ​​the article? How to take good notes? What’s the trick to writing an abstract? How to read long articles quickly and accurately?
• Critical thinking: How to analyze the claims, arguments and evidence of the article? Do you agree or disagree with the author’s argument? What’s the reason? How to find evidence to support it?
• Argument writing: How to write a well-organized and persuasive article? What is a checklist for argument writing? How to improve your writing skills?
• Creative thinking: How to be more creative and think more flexibly? What are the stages in the process of creative thinking?

It took me half an hour to read the entire book very quickly. I found that the author of this book is indeed an experienced teacher. This book is not only suitable for elementary school and high school students to read, but it is also a must-have desk book for parents and teachers.

“[High-level reading and thinking: personally taught by famous teachers in Jianzhong, overcome the obstacles of reading long articles of 10,000 words, quickly grasp the key points, and learn more effectively than tutoring](https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/0010900135?utm_source=vista&utm_medium =ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-202108)” can not only help teachers master the teaching skills of reading literacy, but also inspire students to learn independently and get high scores. For parents who care about their children, it is actually a good book suitable for the whole family to read together, and can help everyone enter a beautiful new realm of reading and thinking.

Teacher Huang once said: “Humanistic literacy is actually the ability to understand the other person’s shoes at any time and reflect on oneself from a transcendent perspective.” This is a great saying!

I believe that through the guidance of this book, it will not only help you understand the skills of reading and thinking, but also bring you some unexpected gains. In addition, this book also mentions a lot of learning methods, such as how to take [study notes] (https://www.facebook.com/groups/note.taking.club). Teacher Huang also has his own opinions, which I quite like.
