Stay Engaged with the Text

Active reading means interacting with the passage—underlining, jotting notes, and asking questions as you go. This helps you stay focused, remember what you read, and spot important information.

How to Read Actively

• Underline key words and phrases.
• Write quick notes or questions in the margin.
• Summarize each paragraph in your own words.

Why It Works
