The purpose of the inspection is to form an idea of the global theme of the
reading and, as far as possible, recognizing the essential ideas
around which the content of the text will revolve. This orientation
will help us organize the ideas as we read it. The inspection
it plays the role of cognitive activator and organizer that helps
to help the reader identify the knowledge they already possess about the topic.
Description: It consists of taking a quick look at the chapter that is going to
to study in order to obtain general information.
Procedure:
the titles and subtitles of the chapter,
determine the pages you will read in an hour, for
example. Observe the headings of the
drawings, diagrams and tables.
Read the summary, if there is one. Read the questions if there are any.

Read the main words in the glossary.
Ask and predict the answer given by the text
Here begins the actual reading, which must be carried out to
cover section by section and not for the entire chapter.
Immediately after choosing the section to be read,
we must turn into questions the concerns that it generates for us
text. It is important to ask ourselves general questions regarding the
text or the developed theme. Among the questions one must ask oneself
Make yourself at the moment of starting, the following must be present:
What do I know about this topic? How would I present the topic? Likewise,
there's no harm in changing the titles and subtitles of the chapters in
questions. One way to help us in this task is to convert into
questions the subtitles that will be read.

study theme and alert the reader's mind.
Predict or anticipate what you would like to read.
Procedure: Transform the titles and subtitles into

During the Reading
Read with Purpose
Any activity carried out with a defined and clear purpose.
it allows to focus attention on what is essential to the purpose and
put aside the trivial, accessory, or unnecessary. Comprehensive reading
it is an activity that should not take place if it has not been
establishing the purpose, the reason for reading. If they have been set

finish reading the sections, we will have guides to underline
new ideas, main ideas, important details, and terms
technicians or scientists. It is always important to read paragraph by paragraph and
not hurriedly, for better and optimal performance; moreover
to have a dictionary on hand in case you don't know any
word. But it should not be underlined as one reads on, if
no at the end of one or more paragraphs because only then will it be known what
points are worth highlighting. One thing must be clear, that
during the specialization, one does not read to memorize
terms, definitions or data; reading is a strategy for that
everyone builds meaning from what they read and from their prior knowledge

let's practice the process, we will improve the writing and
conceptualization of immediate purposes.
Description: The purpose of reading is the
maximum understanding. Reading must be
silent, analytical, understanding, dynamic and gives
answers to the questions.
Procedure: It is located in two dimensions:
Speed and Comprehension.
Exercise and Express What You Read
After reading each section in its entirety and not before, respond.

Procedure: Prepare idea cards, summary and

After Reading
Recap and Verify What Has Been Learned
It is said that one reads to learn if the steps were followed.
previously there is a very high possibility that it has been learned
A lot. Now we need to recap and verify the entirety of the chapter.
The authors of this method recommend that we take the route
total of the text and explain in your own words the points
main ones identified in the reading of the text. In case of doubt
we can help each other with the notes or re-read the text. This activity
fulfills the functions of verification, reflection, diagnosis and
self-regulation with which the process is typically closed
learning.
Description: After having read and taken notes,
carry out the achievement of the results: learning
through the conceptual map and the product or written document.
Procedure: Build the conceptual map with the
help with the files and draft the product, which can be
to be an essay or a presentation.
Complementary Factors
The place of study must be inviting, as it helps to
concentrate faster, away from distractions like the TV.
Table and chair: the table must be large enough so that
what material we are going to use and the chair must be
comfortable and with a straight back.
Lighting: Position yourself as close to the window as possible and study.
preferably when there is still natural light.
Temperature: The ideal temperature would be around 20_0.
Noise and table: Avoid all the elements that distract you
attention, as it decreases your level of concentration
Distance from the eyes when reading: The ideal distance is about 30 cm.
Posture: When you study, sit up straight with
a slight tilt of the head.
