Advice on Reading from the Writing Center Staff

  • If you are a visual learner, use a highlighter.
  • For textbook reading, read the title, the concluding section, skim the subheadings, then read the whole chapter with the framework in mind.
  • Allot time for reading and re-reading.
  • If you have trouble remembering what you’ve read, use three steps:
    1. Underline or highlight the text.
    2. Take notes.
    3. A few days later, type up your notes to reinforce them.
