Textbook Marking

Textbook Marking - marking in your textbook can aid in the learning process. A convenient way of making this happen is to change headings into questions and then attempt to answer the question while reading. This technique will help you become more realistic and even increase your speed.
Steps of marking – preview: skim your reading material that have been assigned (ask questions to yourself, identify unfamiliar words), study and read: read chapter using study-reading and sectional reading (before you mark any thing), mark or highlight text: mark text which answered the main idea and the major supportive details, write margin cues: write a symbols to indicate what you marked and why.
Deciding what else to mark depends on 3 factors: 1additional information provided in lecture 2 parts of reading you find unclear 3 your own particular experience in home assignment.
Develop a marking system that does not interfere with your textbook reading. Both pencils and highlighters can be used to signify important information. The advantage of using a pencil is that additional written information or questions can be included on the page. A highlighter will illuminate information for later review. The markings in your textbook should be easily followed and should serve as a summary of the chapter material.
