These help you understand what you read. These help you remember what you read. QUESTION

⇨ Turn the main headings into questions. Write down questions you have as you preview.

READ

⇨ Read a “chunk” – a paragraph at a time at first, and work up to more. Then stop and think about what you just

  • read. Look for answers to the questions

you asked.

SUMMARIZE

⇨ At the end of each “chunk”, cover the section you read and retell the most important points. Take “T-Notes”.

TEST YOURSELF

⇨ Can you answer the questions you made from the headings? Do you know what the vocabulary words mean? Can you state the most important points?

PREVIEW

⇨Look at the title, pictures, charts, graphs, & vocabulary words.
