My reading experience

Reading is one of the most important skills that we should improve to be a good student or to get better grades. In order to understand the information or to learn it more effectively by using this skill we can divide it into 3 steps
The first step is previewing. In this step you anticipate what you are going to read about by reading the title, introduction, pictures, graphs and diagrams.
The second is active reading and note taking. It consists of reading the material carefully and taking notes (by highlighting, underlining and writing the main information) while reading it.
The last step is summarizing. After reading the information you should analyze it in your own words or make it shorter so that you could it easily.
At my last reading experience I tried to use a method called chunking. I divided the information into several small pieces, after reading each of them I analyzed it and had a rest. In my opinion this is one of the most effective and useful way to improve the reading skill.
