Reading for Comprehension:

Often we read texts for information, but it is also important that we develop strategies of reading in order to comprehend the materials posed by the instructors. We will consider the following for reading:

• Survey the reading for key points. Try to figure out what it is all about...highlighting words and phrases.
• Read the material carefully and comprehensively to make sure the student didn't miss something crucial.
• The student must develop a sense of how and what, which will help answer the questions before reading it in detail.

The format will obviously vary from subject to subject, depending on the material being covered.
