Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved Formulating Questions Formulating questions is an active reading strategy that provides you with a purpose for reading, elevates your curiosity, increases comprehension, and helps maintain a focus. The questions and then the answers create memory cues or associations to recall information later. Write questions before you read. Write questions as you read. Write questions after you read.

Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved Reading Composition Textbooks Textbooks contain declarative knowledge and procedural knowledge. Study examples carefully. Learn the terminology. Learn the writing steps. Plan to revise drafts several times. Analyze your work, proofread, and apply writing elements presented in the textbook.

Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved Reading Literature Textbooks Literature include short stories, essays, plays, poetry, and novels Literature involves imaginative, figurative language to convey emotional experiences. Read through completely to get an overview and the emotional impact. After uninterrupted reading, read thoroughly a second time. Look for figurative language (symbols, images, word usage). Examine ways events unfold, characters develop, and details weave together to develop the plot. Create visual images and movies in your mind. Critique the writing; support your opinion with specific details.

Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved Reading History Textbooks Textbooks involve sequence of events in a narrative form. Create timelines to show the sequence of events. Look for patterns and trends, cause and effect relationships, and major shifts in political, social, and cultural directions. Create visual images and movies in your mind. Memorize specific facts (names, dates, treaties, wars, and definitions). Read other accounts of the same events for alternative perspectives.

Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved Reading Math Textbooks Math textbooks include factual information (declarative knowledge) and theorems, formulas, equations, and problem-solving steps (procedural knowledge). Math textbooks are based on sequential skills and understanding. Look for common patterns: concept defined concept presented as an equation concept expressed in symbols or algebraic notation applications.

Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved Reading Math Textbooks (Cont) Learn the language of symbols. Memorize formulas, terminology, and steps. Study examples of equations and problem-solving steps. Rework problems several times to increase speed and accuracy. Focus on individual parts of a problem: what is given what you need to find what steps you need to use to solve the problem. Make charts, tables, diagrams, or pictures to help solve problems.
