Active Reading Techniques

Engaging with Texts

Active reading means interacting with the text to improve understanding and recall. Techniques include annotating, highlighting key points, asking questions, and summarizing after each section. These habits keep readers focused and help them retain more information—skills that are especially useful on test day.

  • Annotate the margins with thoughts or questions
  • Highlight main ideas or confusing parts
  • Pause regularly to recap what you've read

Active reading transforms passive reading into an engaging, memorable experience.

Examples

  • Writing quick notes in the margin to remember important details.

  • Highlighting unfamiliar words to look up later.
