English Notes on Reading Strategies
Strategies:
1) Actively read
*2) Read in an appropriate environment (an environment that is conducive and helps you focus on your reading)
EXAMPLES - library, couch,
3) Be honest with yourself:
EMAPLE - Do i really work better with music?
Is it distracting to have the TV on when i'm reading?
4) Aids: -literary criticism (analysis, often found at beginning or end of book. essays criticizing the book
-study guides (handed out by teachers to help students understand the reading)
-spark notes (online notes on the reading including plot summary, analysis of the texts, and analysis of characters. Some teachers consider these cheating)
-books on tape ( listening to something often allows one to better understand the language use in a novel)
-movies (visual of books, although occasionally inaccurate because it is an interpretation of the work)
(*Super extra, fuzzy, chocolate-fudge-covered, stupendously important)
By the way, guys, today is HUG A HAYDEN DAY!
