Active Reading Strategies

Active reading involves recognizing key points in a book and shifting your focus accordingly. It is not about mechanically moving through the text but understanding the content deeply. By asking four essential questions - What is the book about as a whole? What is being said in detail and how? Is the book true in whole or in part? What are the implications? - readers can enhance their comprehension and derive meaningful insights from the text. Failure to ask these questions can result in missing out on valuable information and a shallow understanding of the material.
