READ
now read slowly through the information. Make a note of everything you do not understand fully. You will have to come back to these points later and explore them in more detail, perhaps by consulting other resources. as you read, search for the answers to the questions you wrote down in Step 2. This process is known as active reading and takes concentration and focus.
TIP -
Re-read the captions under pictures, graphs, etc. Take special note of the underlined, italicised and bold printed words or phrases. examine all graphs and diagrams. These will sum up and clarify the content that you have just read.
