Study Strategies

Active Reading Techniques

Stay Engaged as You Read

Active reading means interacting with the text to understand it better. Use strategies like underlining key points, asking questions, and making predictions as you read.

  • Highlight or underline important ideas.
  • Jot down notes or questions in the margins.
  • Pause to summarize sections in your own words.

These habits help you remember what you read and prepare for questions on the exam.

Examples

  • Underlining the main idea in a paragraph.

  • Pausing after a section to predict what happens next.
