Active Reading Strategies

Staying Engaged With Text

Active reading means doing more than just reading the words. Try underlining important ideas, asking questions, making predictions, or drawing pictures as you read. These techniques help you remember more and understand better!

  • Underline or highlight key points
  • Write notes or questions in the margins
  • Pause and summarize each section

Examples

  • Highlighting main ideas in a science article.

  • Making a list of questions you have while reading a book.
