Step1 - Skim

Quickly look over the whole assignment. Look at the pictures, read the captions, check out the main points. Read the headings and subheadings (everything in big bold writing). Without reading a single paragraph, you have an idea of what the section is about.

COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE:

This section is about:

Step 2 - Question

Change the headings and subheadings into questions (for example: "The United States in 1800" could be changed into "What was the United States like in 1800?"). This will give your reading a purpose - to answer your own questions.
 

WRITE THE HEADINGS AND THEN CHANGE THEM INTO QUESTIONS

Step 3 - Read

Now read the assignment, keeping your questions from step 2 in mind. Mentally answer each question as you finish the section (for example: when you finish reading "The United States in 1800" you should be able to tell what the United States was like in 1800).

READ THE ASSIGNMENT

Step 4 - Recite

Everyone will quickly forget new facts unless they use them. Look away from your book and recite the answers to your questions. You could do it mentally, with another student, or on paper. This helps you be able to recall the answer later.
