Reading strategies


Organizing information
To organize the information in a reading text, it is often useful to make an outline of the text,
just as you would when you write an essay. Choose headings that relect the main ideas of
the text, then jot down important details and supporting statements under each heading.
Do not copy directly from the text; instead, use your own words to make your points.
Use a dictionary or thesaurus to ind other words that will help you express the ideas in the
reading text.
Under the following headings, summarize the main points of paragraphs from the reading
text.
