PRACTICE,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Efficient reading strategies,[object Object],Scanning,[object Object],You skim read material to get the general picture. To find out precise information you will need to practise the technique of scanning. You may need to find out specific details of a topic for an assignment or a task that your lecturer has set.,[object Object],There is little point in skimming a whole book for this purpose. You should identify a few key expressions which will alert you to the fact that your subject is being covered. You can then run your eyes down the page looking for these expressions - in chapter headings or sub-headings, or in the text itself.,[object Object]

Efficient reading strategies,[object Object],Detailed reading,[object Object],Some subjects such as law subjects and literature, for example, require a very detailed understanding from the student. This kind of reading is always more time consuming, but can be combined with skimming and scanning for greater efficiency. ,[object Object],If it is a photocopy or your own book, take full advantage by underlining or highlighting and using the margins for your own comments or questions.,[object Object]
