| Reading the section fills in the information around the mental structures you have been building by surveying the chapter and developing questions about the section. | |
| Read one section as a time | As you read the section, look for the answers to your questions and jot them down, in your own words, on the right two-thirds of your piece of paper. |
| Add more questions, if necessary | A single question is probably adequate for a section that is only a few paragraphs; however, for longer sections, you may find that you need to add a question or two. |
| Don't get bogged down with the details | Well-written textbooks often provide examples to further explain the main ideas. As you read the section, try to separate the details from the main ideas. Use the details to help you understand the main ideas but don't expect yourself to memorize every detail provided in the chapter. |
