Textbook Reading Strategies for Efficient
Learning Outcomes
2
Let us explore our education system. Textbooks
have always played a prominent role in our
classroom learning. Textbooks play the role of
the holy bible and every student vouches by his
textbooks. Effective textbook reading
strategies become the need of the hour.

What is Effective Learning?

• Effective learning happens when we make multiple
  connections of new ideas to old ones and think
  radically.
• To learn things effectively one must advance from
  the simple to the complex
• Students should be able to identify their best
  learning style and modify their learning
  strategies to best suit their style

How Do We Develop Strategies On Reading Textbooks
For Efficient Learning? 

• Reviewing Content

Help you identify what's significant as you read
and make it possible for you to retain the detail.

• Recollect What You Learned

Try and recollect by drawing a web diagram that
can be scribbled on the edges or the white
corners.  
5

• Highlight the Key Concepts

Using colour markers to highlight the key
concepts so that you can visualize information,
and decipher it.

• Reading Aloud

Helps in the retention of information gathered.

• Writing Meanings

Writing meanings of difficult words or maybe the
theme of the poem in the margin of the textbook
aids one remember it later when you are learning
the lesson or poem.
6

• Prepare Short Notes

Another method to retain and remember concepts
taught in class.
 

• Group Studies

Help you to understand concepts better and have
another perspective or viewpoint on a particular
concept or idea.

• Skimming Scanning Techniques

Another key to understanding the gist of the
text.

Helpful Tips To Follow

• If you are unable to understand a concept, please
  make sure you approach your teacher or try
  reading about it from a reference book.
• Assure you write down what you have learnt in
  your notebook or jot down points in your
  textbook, this will help you understand and
  recollect these at a later point in time when you
  are revising. 
• Make sure you are comfortable, sitting in a place
  that is well lit and you can concentrate.
• Always keep your notebook and stationery handy,
  so if there is something that you need to
  understand or take down notes you have it all
  close to you and dont have to move around
  searching for them, for this might break your
  concentration.
• To improve your concentration, make sure you stop
  when you are exhausted, for reading without
  understanding or reading without a purpose is
  just a waste of time. So take tiny breaks when
  you are exhausted and come back fresh.
