Use a Supplementary Text How will a If for whatever reason you\u2019re having diffi culties understanding the course\u2019s primary supplementary text textbook and you\u2019ve already sought help from the instructor or a tutor, then a supple-help?<\/p>\n<p>mentary textbook can sometimes help you gain a better grasp of the subject. In some instances, you may be able to fi nd another textbook that covers the same topic that your course textbook does, but it\u2019s more likely that you will have to use different supplementary texts for different parts of your course text. It\u2019s important to stress that this is a supplementary textbook, not an alternate one.<\/p>\n<p>Your instructor still has every right and reason to expect you to be studying from the required text. Therefore, any reading you do in a second text will be in addition to your regular text, not instead of it. Once you have a better grasp of the subject or ideas you were struggling with, return to the regular text and see if it is easier to understand.<\/p>\n<p>Listen Instead of Reading What is the value of Auditory learners comprehend better when they hear information instead of reading listening instead of it on a page or screen. This means that although lectures are helpful, reading assign-reading? ments can sometimes be a struggle. The organization Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic (RFB&#038;D) provides audio versions of a large number of textbooks (http:\/\/www. rfbd.org). In addition, many popular books\u2014both fi ction and nonfi ction\u2014 are released 1Richard A.<\/p>\n<p>Felder and Barbara M.

It\u2019s important to stick with the unabridged versions, however, or you may miss a part of the book that is stressed in class and on your tests but is absent from the copy you listened to.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Understand Visuals All of us are taught to read words at an early age.
