Active Reading Strategies

Stay Engaged as You Read

Active reading means participating with the text. It's not just about moving your eyes over words—it's about thinking and questioning as you go.

Tips for Active Reading

  • Ask questions as you read (Who? What? Why?)
  • Make predictions about what will happen next
  • Highlight or note important ideas

Active reading helps you remember more and makes reading more interesting.

Examples

  • Writing down questions about a character’s choices in your notebook.

  • Highlighting key facts in a science article.
