Engaging with the Text

Active reading means interacting with the passage—underline main ideas, jot down notes, and ask yourself questions as you read. This keeps you focused and helps you remember what you’ve read when answering questions.

Examples

  • Underlining key sentences in the passage.

  • Writing quick notes about the author’s purpose in the margin.
