Reading for information. During EFP 11, we have read multiple short stories, plays and our own silent reading books. During the process of reading all of these, we were asked to reflect on what we learned and explain how each piece of text impacted or reflected our own lives without explaining the events of the given text. I have learned through ought school to read for information and process it efficiently for a detailed response. This skill helped me numerous times because it made processing the text easier and responding to the questions easier.

Core Competency Reflection

I can identify ways in which my strengths can help me meet challenges, and how my challenges can be opportunities for growth. Knowing that this skill is one of my strengths is incredibly important to me because I love reading and writing, and having this as a strength has made reading and writing so much easier for me. It has benefitted me with having better written responses and better reading comprehension, however there is a draw back, such as only reading for information and not taking in all that is required. This can be a problem when we are asked to not only explain important events but also to infer about what the text could mean, either literally or figuratively.
