Concentrate on identifying the central or main points.  Scanning It is when you pass your vision speedily over a section of text to find particular words or phrases.  general idea/ overview specific information What is the story What is the name of all about? the main character? Detailed reading and note taking underlining and highlighting the important words keywords to record the main headings as you read.  Making Inferences When we try to figure out something based on an experience, we make an inference. It is the ability to understand implicit messages conveyed by a writer.  Making Inferences For example, when we see a boy quietly seated inside the library reading a book, we infer that the boy might be reviewing something for his examination or quiz. How did we say that? We can make such an inference because more or less, when we, too, have to review for a quiz or exam, we go to the library.  Drawing Conclusions It is when the readers are given the opportunity to utilize visual clues to figure out something not directly stated. When one draws a conclusion, he/she develops the skill of putting together various pieces of information to come up with an acceptable conclusion.  Thank You for listening!
