The document discusses how to become an excellent reader by understanding the purpose of reading. There are two main purposes - literary experience and acquiring information. Good readers activate their background knowledge, ask questions about the text, and make connections between their own lives and knowledge and what is in the text. There are two types of questions - clarifying questions to understand parts of the text better, and ponderable or "I wonder" questions that often can't be definitively answered.
