Survey
let’s say your assignment is to read one chapter. First, get an idea of what the chapter is about by trying reviewing the highlights:

• Read the title and subheadings.
• Notice words that are italicized or bold.
• Look at the charts, maps, graphs, and other visual material.
• Read captions.
• Read the very beginning and end of the chapter.
