## Here are a few tips, questions, and statements you can think about before, during, and after reading a text: ### Before Reading ☐ What do I already know about the topic? ☐ What can I expect to learn? ☐ Skim the book to find out what I will be learning. ### During Reading ☐ Pause during reading to reflect upon what was just read. Try to link it to something you already know. ☐ Do I understand what I just read? ☐ Place a sticky note next to any question, unfamiliar word, or comment you would like to share in the text. ### After Reading ☐ Reread any passages that confused you. ☐ Go over your sticky notes. ☐ Summarize in your head what you have just read. (this is one of the [[reading and note-taking strategies]])
