Effective Reading How to effectively and efficiently read your
textbook Survey Read Record Review Survey Before you begin reading
a chapter, survey the chapter as a whole. The idea is to get an
overview of the materials and to see how the chapter is organized.
If you look over the main ideas and structure you will be better
able to comprehend the materials. Examine the title of the chapter,
the headings and the subheadings. Preview the learning objectives
and the overview at the beginning of the chapter. Look over the
figures, tables, charts, and the definitions of key words that are
printed in the margins. Finally look over the summary and review at
the end of the chapter. After doing this, you will have a good idea
of the overall content and structure of the chapter. Read Actively
Read Read through the chapter thoroughly.
Keep the learning objectives at the beginning of the chapter in
mind when you are reading and try to answer the questions. (This
will help you focus your attention on the content of the chapter.)
If you read actively you will be more involved in the materials
which will increase your understanding and retention of the
material. Continue to look for answers to questions when you are
reading. Some of the headings in the text are framed as questions;
try to find the answers to these questions as you read. You can
also turn headings into questions for you to answer. For example,
if the heading is Planning, ask yourself what is planning; then
look for the answer as you read the section. Record Make records of
the material in the chapter.
You can highlight, underline, make notes in the margins of the
textbook, or make separate notes. Look for the main points when you
highlight or take notes. This will bring another dimension to your
reading and keep the learning process active. Try to make the most
important points stand out. This will help you remember the
information. Review Read over your notes or highlighted
information.
Reviewing is important for retention of the material. Recite (aloud
or to yourself) the highlights of what you have read. Ask yourself
questions, using questions from the book or your own. Answer
questions in your own words. You should review right after
completing each assignment and periodically to help you retain the
information. The Investigator Responsibilities and Attributes;
