Journal Entry:
Reading with a Purpose

Have you ever read something and then realized you were unable to identify or retain the key concepts? That’s why being an active reader is so important. This chapter outlined three steps in active reading.

Step 1 is preparing to read and it includes gathering materials, determining how much time to allot to a particular assignment, and previewing the material.

Step 2 is reading with focus and it includes marking up your reading material, making personal connections, and thinking critically about what you read.

Step 3 is reviewing what you’ve read.

In a journal entry, reflect on your experience with each step in this process. Be specific about the strategies you currently implement and the things you may not have thought about before today. Then identify the strategies outlined in this chapter, some of which might be new to you, that you could implement right now to improve your active reading.
