Techniques for Reading Effectively
1. Underlining/Highlighting
2. Annotating3. Outlining
Underlining / Highlighting Helps with concentration & focus Four rules of underlining:
› The main idea (topic sentence) in paragraphs
› The support for those main ideas
› The answers to your questions
› Only the key words
“Skim and Scan” Often not possible to read word for word What do you already know about topic? What do you need to/want to know? Learn to focus on key features
› Titles and subtitles› Section introductory paragraphs› Bulleted and numbered portions› Highlighted or boxed material› Illustrations, graphics, charts› Chapter/section summaries
Annotating - writing notes in the margins
Related to underlining
Often appears along with underlining
Represents intense involvement
› turns a reader into a writer
Your response in the margin may Echo the author’s ideas Critically question the author’s ideas Relate author’s ideas to something else Add to the author’s ideas
Written Responses to Reading
1. Outlines2. Summaries3. Reactions
To write an effective summary Write only about 1/3 as much as original Concentrate on main ideas, not details Use your own words (paraphrase)
› But don’t change the author’s ideas
Effective summary (cont’d) Seldom use direct quotations Cite the author and title of text Use author tags to indicate summary
› “. . . , says York.”› “According to York, . . . ”› As York explains, . . . ”
When summarizing, Don’t . . .
. . . add ideas
. . . include personal comments
A Reaction Statementis text-based writing in which you
incorporate your views
Reactions may Require evaluation
› with critical-thinking emphasis Include summary and discussion Bring in the writer’s experiences Include opinionated comments
A Two-Part ResponseA clear, concise summary followed by a
reaction response
Two-part responses
Are used for:› critical examination of text› problem-solving analytical assignments
Help avoid common problem of:› Students’ writing only a summary› Not writing a thoughtful evaluation
You Try It!“The Jacket,” by Jack Soto
In-class reading, followed by a two-part response of a summary + reaction
Read the short story and then write 40-50 words of a summary and 40-50 words of a reaction
• No more than half a page total
Include your name and turn this in!
