What other types of reading do you do?? Reading Strategies Consider your text; the strategies will be very different for: Textbook Article Technical manual Novel What other types of reading do you do??

Reading Strategies For textbooks and technical manuals: Preview: read the summary, definitions, bold and italicized words, picture captions, questions at the end of the chapter, then go back and read. For articles: Read the abstract, headings, definitions, and any quotes that have been pulled out, then go back and read. For novels: Break down longer sections—pick a set number of chapters to read per week to finish by the due date.

Reading Strategies Visualize the material. Form mental pictures of the concepts. Read aloud, especially if the material is difficult. Write questions, draw pictures or diagrams, and take notes as you read. Explain a difficult concept to someone—if you can teach it, you know it! Highlight key words and phrases. Highlight key ideas and possible test items to review further. Don’t highlight, underline, or otherwise mark too much; it defeats the purpose. For example: Take a 5 to 7 minute break every 45 minutes.

Which highlighted article will be most helpful to the reader? Reading Strategies Which highlighted article will be most helpful to the reader?

Practice Makes Perfect!! Reading Strategies Practice Makes Perfect!!
