Study Strategies
## Stay Engaged with the Text
Active reading means interacting with the passage—underlining, jotting notes, and asking questions as you go. This helps you stay focused, remember what you read, and spot important information.
### How to Read Actively
- Underline key words and phrases.
- Write quick notes or questions in the margin.
- Summarize each paragraph in your own words.
## Why It Works
When you're actively involved, you understand and remember more, making it easier to answer questions quickly and accurately.
Examples
- Underlining all the transition words to follow the author’s argument.
- Jotting down a question about a confusing part to revisit after reading.
