PERSONAL READING PROCEDURE

CARLEY ELZNIC

Knowing how to properly read and comprehend what you are reading is very important. But different people have different ways to comprehend readings.

This all depends on who YOU are.

THERE ARE MANY LEARNING STYLES THAT YOU CAN USE, AND TODAY I AM TELLING YOU WHAT SOME WAYS ARE.

know if you are Bodily Kinesthetic• When you are

bodily kinesthetic you use your body and sense of touch to learn about new things.

Kinesthetic

learners learn?

Critical ThinkingThe mode of thinking which the thinker improves the quality of his or her thinking by skillfully analyzing, assessing, and reconstructing it. 

All learning styles think critically in their own ways to help them better understand what they are reading and help they be more active as a reader.

WHAT I DO BEFORE AND AFTER READING.

BEFORE READING

• Before I start reading I usually look over all of they main points like headings, titles, and pictures if any highlighted should be needed then I will highlight parts I think might be important for me to go back and read over. Then I ask myself or write down questions that I might have on they topic we are reading about. I figure out how I am going to go about reading the sections and when I am going to do them.

AFTER READING• Usually after I get done reading I take notes about what I

read, usually putting the main points and putting it in my own words so it is easier for me to remember. Also summarizing what I have read which will also be in my own words. I will relate things to what I know, have done or read. I would also answer the questions I wrote before I started reading or even during reading, if needed ask a teacher.
