Chapter 5 Reflection

In chapter 5 "Reading as thinking" we are basically learning about different techniques to remember what we read. As we get into chapter 1, we find that the first thing we see is Previewing.  Previewing is  a way of quickly familiarizing yourself with the organization and content of material before beginning to read. Of course this is one of the most important parts  because you have to be comfortable and understand the text before just diving in and having no idea what you read. When you preview, you should look at the title and subtitle, find the most important ideas in the material and note exactly how the reading is organized. These tips work with both textbooks and regular articles depending on how they are written. Another helpful tip is to review after you read. You may think you've finished reading but you have to ask yourself: "Do I even understand what I just read?"
