- 6. skimming (for gettingthe gist of the text) Skimming is reading quickly to gain a general idea. Skimming helps you to identify whether or not to continue reading, and what to read carefully. A reader may skim: titles subheadings diagrams chapter objectives chapter summaries the first sentence of every paragraph
- 7. Marking the text Markingtexts can help to concentrate and can help you identify key points and make the book easier to survey later underline key words, highlight with a marker, or make notes in margins
- 8. SQ3R(survey, question, read,recall, and review) A reading strategy designed to improve comprehension (understanding), memory, and efficiency in reading.
- 9. Survey Survey means flipthrough the pages t get a “general idea” about what the chapter, section, or article. In this stage, just quickly look over the: titles, headings, and sub-headings introduction and conclusion pictures or diagrams words or ideas in bold or in italics graphs, tables, figures summary
- 10. Question Using the informationat the survey stage, prepare some questions about what you want to/need to learn in the reading task. You can do this by: turning a heading into a question using the chapter’s questions using the course objectives to make questions making your own questions based on your own interest in the topic Example questions include: “Why is this concept or idea important?” “How is this idea related to what we talked about in class?” “I learned about this idea before. How is this information different?”
- 11. Read underlining orhighlighting key ideas jot down notes, questions, comments, or symbols in the margins try to answer your questions notice and note down information that is directly related to what you talked about in lecture make a list of questions to ask your professor during class or office hours
- 12. Recite After reading,close your text and put away your notes for a moment. In your own words, either aloud or on paper, can you: summarize purpose of the reading? the main ideas? the key terms? the answers to your initial questions? If you have great difficulty reciting, you may not be reading actively, Do not wait to seek some extra help if you need it.
- 13. Review Reviewing is notreading over the notes you made from the textbook again and again. Reviewing means that you do something different with the information, for example: make a map, table, or diagram of the information make flash cards write out the key ideas in your own words do the practice questions at the end of the chapter make a timeline
- 14. Critical Reading Skills Critical reading means applying critical thinking to a written text, by analyzing and evaluating what you read. An important foundation for critically evaluating a text is trying to understand the writer’s ideas and arguments.
- 15. Reading the text Asyou read, develop the habit of asking and answering questions about following aspects The author’s purpose to write this text the nature of the content The structure of the text The style and format used to represent the text
- 16. Developing your ownview Your own knowledge and experience can help you to analyze a text. Ideas presented in lectures and from other course readings will also help to develop your thinking. Comparing authors with different points of view on the same topic can also help to identify their assumptions. Why and how are these writers interpreting the same events, data, or evidence differently? If you are having difficulty identifying the argument and/or finding things, try discussing the text with friends, with classmates. Discussion can generate ideas and help to clarify thinking.
