Reading Frame

Reading Frame

Before you read:

• What do you already know about the topic the author will cover?
• Determine what you want to learn or find out from the material.
• Skim to find out how the author has chosen to present the material.

As you read:

• Define vocabulary words in margins/on sticky notes
• If a printed copy or your review book, write directly on the page: underline key words, phrases, or sentences; write comments or questions in the margins; bracket important sections of the text; number related points in sequence; and make note of anything that strikes you as interesting, important, or questionable.  If school textbook, make notes in notebook.
• When you don't understand something, review your notes to see where you got off track, reread the passage, talk to another person, or consult on-line resources.

After you read:

• Reread any passages that you did not understand.
• Summarize what you have read by restating main ideas from the text.
• Jot down two questions you still have about the topic.
