Use Active Reading Strategies As You Read
Now you are ready to read the chapter. Read one section at a time, from
beginning to end.
Ask and answer questions as you read. Look for the Main Ideaquestions in
the margin. Answering these questions will show whether you understand
what you have just read.
Try to visualize the people, places, and events you read about. Studying
the pictures, maps, and other illustrations will help you do this.
Read to build your vocabulary. Use the marginal Vocabularynotes
to find the meaning of unfamiliar words.
Look for the story behind the events. Study the boxed
features for additional information and interesting
sidelights on the section content.
