Key Words: preview, mark the text, overview reading, review
Superficial Reading, Quick Coding, Selective Reading, and Postview is the name of this strategy with BEFORE, DURING, and AFTER parts. The BEFORE-reading strategy, "Superficial Reading," gives you a more thorough overview of what you will be reading than does a simple preview of the test. "Quick Coding" has you mark the parts that seem the most important or the most puzzling as you do Superficial Reading. This gives you focus when you read the text later. "Selective Reading" is a DURING-reading strategy where you focus on what you most need as you read and skim or skip the other parts of the text. "Postview" is a fast review strategy to use AFTER reading. It refreshes your memory of the material you previously read.
