22 Effective Reading Strategies  Don't wait until the last minute; give yourself plenty of time to read your material!  Establish an atmosphere conducive to maximum concentration. This will vary depending on personal preferences.

23  Look over materials before going into them, noting headings, bold-faced words, charts, and summaries.  Skim introductions and conclusions. By previewing materials, you can develop a sense of the overall point(s) it is presenting.  This will help put the details into a larger context in which they will make sense.

24  Use the questions at the beginnings or ends of chapters as study guides to help focus your reading.  Read everything, including those introductions and conclusions you skimmed.  Look up words you don't know.

25  Try one or more of the following methods of note taking (using a combination of approaches will help you begin reviewing):  Glossing: after reading a passage or section, summarize the main ideas in your own words. This can be done in a notebook, or in the margins of your book (if you own it).

26  Outlining: using the author's order or your own, write down the key ideas. Use phrases and abbreviations to keep it short. Use whatever system of numbering or lettering you prefer.  Synthesizing chart: chart key information when you are trying to pull together information from more than one source.  OR, read from a few sources and formulate questions from the main ideas which can be applied to the remaining information

27  Instead of highlighting or underlining in your text, take notes in the margins or in a separate notebook.  This will give you the important information at a glance. (If you take notes in a separate notebook, remember to write the page number on which the information may be found again for later reference.) Improving your reading skills may very well have a positive effect on your writing.
