Reading a Textbook Sonja Franeta,  English as a Second Language Instructor
Textbooks are difficult They are not pleasure reading They are meant to give information The words and concepts are complex You are not alone ASK QUESTIONS You will find the answers.
Form study groups Help each other
Some myths about reading You have to read every word. You have to read everything in order. Reading one time should be enough. Don’t skim or you won’t remember things. Looking at the pictures will distract you. NOT TRUE!!!
The Brain Works by associations You have a lot of experience and knowledge. Activate your background knowledge!
Everyone is different.We have different learning styles. Auditory Visual Kinesthetic We have Multiple Intelligences
Academics have emphasized the linguistic and logical intelligences but you are studying kinesthetically—hands on.More learning opportunities.
How to read a textbook?Don’t be intimidated.You are reading it for a purpose. What are you trying to find out?The drill press unit—p.335
Look at the title and think about what you know about drill presses before reading. The book gives you a lot of help with summaries and review questions. You can look them over.
Preview the chapter Read the title And the first and last paragraphs Look at subheadings Read anything boldfaced and italicized. Look at pictures and charts. Get associations going and think about the subject.
Read the chapter Mark things you want to go back to with “*” or an abbreviation like “imp” or other marks Underline important terms with explanations Put question marks where you don’t understand or want to ask about
Take notes To help you remember: Jot down the title of the section or chapter What are the key points? write down the page numbers you want to remember.
You can also preview the chapter or unit and think about what the main idea is Then go back to the parts that interest you. For example, maybe you just want to find out about tapping.
It is important to find out the main idea. Does it fit with your purpose?
Make vocabulary flashcards On one side the word On the other side the definition, maybe its usage.
If you want to study a chapter, use the review questions If you don’t have review questions, write a question that goes with each paragraph or subheading as a way of summarizing.
What unit of measure is used for cutting speed? What is spotting, and why is it performed? What is pecking or peck drilling? Why is it better to tap on drill press rather than hand tap? Now for some detective work!
On a piece of paper:What did you learn?What was helpful?Do you have questions?			Sonja Franeta			464-3238sfraneta@peralta.edu
