in books while retention is remembering the things you have read and learned from it. To
improve the quality of learning there are lot of ways to enhance comprehension and retention in
students. It plays major role to increase output results, like comprehension can be build among

topics or books, what will be the conclusion of reading that particular topic or book, as it gives
clear vision of reading the book so students are more active reader, and they can visualize the
concept. To understand the things more clearly which are written in the book they need to
imagine it. If they don't understand the meaning of texts, re-read the sentence, enhance
vocabulary(Hung and Chen, 2018). If any confusion created, it is because of misunderstanding
the words, may be author wants to say something else and the reader reads it in different way and
conclude other meaning of it. So, enhancing vocabulary, taking proper guidance, grab more
knowledge about things which are written in the book, visualize etc. will increase the
comprehensions skills in students.

what is the topic, what message it gives and make a conclusion. As students have to learn and
remember after reading, it includes their memorizing power should be good, as they read they
grab knowledge from it, they use it for their future guidance. So students have good retention
