COMMON READING STRATEGIES
1. skimming through
2. looking for information (or specific points)
3. close reading (carefully analyzing the context in the reading)
KEY POINTS FOR CLOSED READING:
1. read multiple times
2. look for common ground (things you already know/have head of)
3. question and challenge the reading
4. write as you read (annotate, mark the text, highlight)
5. remember critics will read your writting
(this information was my understanding from the book "Keys For Writers" by Ann Raimes, Susan K. Miller-Cochran; seventh edition, Part 1 The Writing Process pp. 3-10. I interpreted what I read into my own words as a form of studying for quiz in an English class. It is by no means my work. Thank You)
