According to our book “Study Power” there are 2 types of reading:
Reading 4 pleasure Study reading
What about me I really like to read different types of books. It can be science-fiction, romantic books and the variety of genres. But if I need to read study books (as chemistry, math, etc) I always try to catch the meaning by reading the main parts of articles. Often it is not the best way of learning new, the hard truth is that unless you know the important definitions and the specific details cold, you will not be able to do well on most multiple- choice and short- answer tests.
So according to our book we should:
Preview (5 min) Read title, subtitle, and look at pictures, read the summary.
Active reading ( 20-30 min) Chunk into small parts, take notes.
Summarizing in 7-9 sentences
