Study Notes
Active Reading Strategies
-
Reading Aloud: Reading aloud can improve comprehension by fostering connections with the text. This strategy is best used privately and aids in grasping dialogue and maintaining engagement.
-
Annotations: Marking up texts (with a pencil and eraser if the text isn't yours) allows readers to track key elements and return to important sections later for clarification.
-
Highlighting: Use a highlighter to mark interesting details, information you may use in essays, and literary elements (using different colors to categorize). Highlighting can help keep you engaged while reading.
-
Gisting: Creating brief summaries of text sections. Gist paragraphs or two in short stories and chapters or so in longer texts. These summaries help understand the overall meaning of the text.
-
Prediction: Making educated guesses about upcoming information to enhance engagement and curiosity to see if those predictions are right or wrong.
-
Questioning: As you read, ask and write down questions. This keeps you engaged and unanswered questions can be excellent discussion prompts.
-
Graphic Organizers: Using visual tools (various graphic organizer types) to organize and analyze information. Include page numbers for easier citation purposes.
