More than one way to read?

The reading strategies helps you read many things better. It gives clues how to read for different purposes. The first strategy it talks about is to skim over the text first, looking at pictures, titles, vocabulary. I can relate to this because I have been doing this for years. The first thing I do when I have a reading assignment is skim over the chapter before I read it. The only thing different about what the book says and what I do is the book says to not stop to look up the vocabulary words, just keep going. I usually skim over the chapter and read the vocab also. Another strategy it says you can do is to jot down notes as you go. I believe this would help greatly it's just hard to get motivated to do it because it just seems like more work. Annotating seems like it's more for me. It is just quick notes on the margin or highlighting as you go. Before reading this text I had no idea how to outline a reading assignment. I knew how to make outlines for a speech or writing assignment, but not for a reading. I now understand what it means to outline a reading and it sounds like a pretty effective tool. With our text analysis coming up the ending of this section helps a lot. It gives good questions to consider while analyzing a text. This will be the first place I go when I start my paper.
