Study Strategies
## Staying Engaged as You Read
Active reading means participating with the text! Underline key points, jot down
quick notes, or ask yourself questions as you go. This keeps your mind focused and helps you remember important
details when answering SSAT questions.
- Look for main ideas and details as you read.
- Predict what might come next.
- Summarize each paragraph in a few words.
Active reading makes the passage more interesting and
helps you catch important information!
Examples
