Let’s say your assignment is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights:
. read the tittle, heading and subheading.

. notice words that are italicized or bold

. look at charts, graphs, pictures, maps and other visual material.

Read captions

. read the very beginning and end of the chapter.
