Active Reading Techniques

Get Involved with Texts

Active reading means engaging with what you read. It keeps your mind focused, helps you remember information, and prepares you for tricky Praxis questions.

Techniques to Try

  • Annotate or highlight key points as you read.
  • Ask questions about the text.
  • Summarize each section before moving on.

Active reading turns passive reading into an interactive experience, making comprehension much easier!

Examples

  • Highlighting main ideas and jotting notes in the margins during a practice test passage.

  • Pausing after each paragraph to summarize what you’ve learned.
