Greetings, Menlo students! 📖

Ever wondered how you can make your reading sessions more engaging and insightful? Let’s dive into practical ways by doing active reading. Active reading is a technique that involves reading with a purpose and engaging with the text to better understand and evaluate its content. 

By using active reading, you're not just absorbing information; you're actively involved in a conversation with the author. This approach helps you dig deeper into the material, discovering valuable insights and connections that you might have missed otherwise

Here are some valuable tips to become proficient in active reading: 

• Preview the material: Before reading, take a few minutes to preview the material. Read the headings, subheadings, and summaries to get an idea of what the text is about.

• Take notes: While reading, take notes on the main ideas, key terms, and important details. This can help you to better understand and remember the material.

• Highlight and annotate: Use highlighting and annotation to mark important information and make connections between ideas.
