When it is selected to read using electronic materials one
can apply the four steps that are used in active reading by:
1. Previewing – get a big picture of what you are
reading. Look at the pictures, read any
captains, review the titles and subtitles.
This can assist with a creation of a skeleton map or outline. Try typing in a program that you may have
downloaded on your electronic.
2. Marking – one will need to use the cut and paste on the
electronic or the highlighter pen if available.
Many times ne is allowed to underline, italicize or make the font
larger. I have even seen highlighting
done electronically by using different color in the text, by changing the text
font color.
3. Reading with Concentration - If you are reading an
electronic document on your computer, download the information that you need
and disconnect from the network to keep you from easily going online and
chatting, e-mailing, or using Facebook or other social networking sites. Be sure to be in a location which is quiet
and in enough light that you can see.
Also, locate yourself in an area free from music, television or any
noise that may distract you.
4. Reviewing – Look over your notes, or typed notes you have
created. Select ways to reteach or
retell what you read. Many times
restating it out loud helps with comprehension, or you may want to be creative
and design songs, or poems o remember the main points you read. I have found that creating an acronym that
defines my major points of information to helps remember as well.
