Active Reading Strategies

Engage Your Brain While You Read

Active reading means doing more than just looking at words on a page. Try asking questions, making predictions, and visualizing scenes as you read. Take notes, highlight important parts, and summarize in your own words. These strategies help you remember more and understand better, making reading both easier and more fun!

Examples

  • Highlighting key points in a nonfiction article.

  • Drawing a mind map while reading a novel.
