Reading strategies

1.PREVIEW
Research shows that it is easier to understand what you are reading if you begin with a general idea of what the passage is about. Previewing helps you form a general idea of the topic. To preview, first read the title, the headings and subheadings, and any words in bold print or italics. Next, read the first sentence of each paragraph and the last sentence of the passage. This time you are looking for the main idea.
2.READ FASTER
To read faster, read for meaning. Try to understand sentences or even paragraphs, not individual words. To do this, you should read phrases instead of reading word by word, read for ideas. If you don't know the meaning of a word but you understand the sentence, move on.
