Effective Reading Strategies

• Don't wait until the last minute give yourself
  plenty of time to read your material!
• Establish an atmosphere conducive to maximum
  concentration. This will vary depending on
  personal preferences.

23

• Look over materials before going into them,
  noting headings, bold-faced words, charts, and
  summaries.
• Skim introductions and conclusions. By previewing
  materials, you can develop a sense of the overall
  point(s) it is presenting.
• This will help put the details into a larger
  context in which they will make sense.

24

• Use the questions at the beginnings or ends of
  chapters as study guides to help focus your
  reading.
• Read everything, including those introductions
  and conclusions you skimmed.
• Look up words you don't know.

25

• Try one or more of the following methods of note
  taking (using a combination of approaches will
  help you begin reviewing)
• Glossing after reading a passage or section,
  summarize the main ideas in your own words. This
  can be done in a notebook, or in the margins of
  your book (if you own it).

26

• Outlining using the author's order or your own,
  write down the key ideas. Use phrases and
  abbreviations to keep it short. Use whatever
  system of numbering or lettering you prefer.
• Synthesizing chart chart key information when
  you are trying to pull together information from
  more than one source.
• OR, read from a few sources and formulate
  questions from the main ideas which can be
  applied to the remaining information

27

• Instead of highlighting or underlining in your
  text, take notes in the margins or in a separate
  notebook.
• This will give you the important information at a
  glance. (If you take notes in a separate
  notebook, remember to write the page number on
  which the information may be found again for
  later reference.) Improving your reading skills
  may very well have a positive effect on your
  writing.
