Active Reading Strategies

Making the Most of Your Reading

Active reading means engaging with the text instead of just passing your eyes over the words. Use strategies like highlighting, asking questions, and making predictions to remember what you read and understand it better.

Tips

  • Highlight important points or unfamiliar words.
  • Pause to summarize sections in your own words.
  • Make predictions about what will happen next.

Active reading helps you stay focused and makes studying for tests much easier.

Examples

  • Highlighting facts in a science article.

  • Writing down questions as you read a story.
