Reading Strategies Worksheet
Identify two reading goals, one short-term and one long-term. * Long-term reading goal: Read a 500 page book and extend my vocabulary. * Short-term reading goal: Read a 350 page book in a week.
Write a 100- to 150-word response to each of the following questions:
How do you currently approach the weekly readings in the course?
The first thing I do is check my syllabus to see what reading I need to get done so that I can complete my assignments, once I have identified them, I make sure that I am not disturbed with phone calls or emails, and lock myself in the quietest room in the house.
I will read 2 or 3 paragraphs at a time and summarize it in my notebook with my own words, once I am done, then I would read the entire chapter in the book again and make sure that I am covering the main points of the reading in my summarizing.
How might you incorporate three of the suggestions covered this week into your study time?
I already use some of these techniques, before I even start reading, I always skim through the book to see what topics are in it and know what I am about to read. Every time that I am about to read a textbook, I make sure that I have a highlighter, to highlight the most relevant parts of the book and a notebook to take notes for myself about what I am reading or summarize a paragraph. It is time consuming but at the end very beneficial, for me anyway.
How might this plan help you accomplish your reading goals?
I think it will help me a lot by sticking to these simple rules when it comes to reading, that way my reading and comprehension of a book will be faster and effective; by having these skills it will also allow me to extend my vocabulary, retain information better and for a longer period of time, and eventually will help me accomplish my reading
