Reflecting on what you’ve read places information you’ve just learned into long-term memory. Post-reading involves doing the same kind of summarizing you’ve done section by section, but now for the entire chapter. In essence, it is a summary of your summaries. While it might seem enough to summarize the chapter verbally, writing down key ideas helps place them into long-term memory. Read through the notes you’ve taken for the chapter, particularly the summary of each section. Then try to write a master summary of the entire chapter using no more than fifty words that captures the key point of each section of the chapter, as well as the chapter as a whole.
