Improving Reading Speed: Vary Strategies
Scan rapidly Recall and Review
Scan the page. Which key words leap out at you? Check that you understand what you have read.
Look for patterns of the argument or main ideas. How does what you read relate to what you
already knew?
How can the organization help you?
Does it confirm or challenge your views?
What can you pick up from the section headings, diagrams, the first
lines of paragraphs, conclusions? What else do you need to find out?
