Active Reading Techniques

Stay Engaged as You Read

Active reading means interacting with the text. Don’t just read words—think about what they mean, ask questions, and make connections to your own life.

Ways to Be an Active Reader

  • Underline or highlight key ideas.
  • Write down questions as you read.
  • Summarize paragraphs in your own words.

Benefits

Active reading helps you remember more and understand better—so it’s a great test-time habit!

Examples

  • Highlighting the thesis and main points in a passage.

  • Jotting down questions about confusing parts.
