How To Read

Worksheet Description

This Study Skills worksheet, titled “How to Read,” is designed as an educational tool to enhance reading comprehension and retention skills among students.

The first part of the worksheet outlines the concept that reading for information retention is a skill that can be improved with practice. It prompts students to consider a range of reading habits and techniques that bolster understanding. These include allocating ample time for reading, remaining alert during the reading process, comprehending captions and figures, re-reading material for better absorption, taking notes or highlighting key information, annotating in the margins, reviewing notes post-reading, listing key terms, taking short breaks every hour, and ensuring review of key concepts sections or chapter summaries.

Below the instructional text, the worksheet provides two columns labeled “Skills I Have Mastered” and “Skills I Need To Work On,” respectively. This section functions as a self-evaluation tool, guiding students to reflect on their proficiency and to plan their focus for development.
