1. Skim the material - We use this strategy only if we only need a shallow knowledge of the subject. Read only the table of contents and each chapter’s headings, and summaries.

2. Scan the material - We use this strategy if we need a moderate level of understanding a subject. Read the full details of each chapter’s introductions and summaries then speed read the chapter contents by picking out and understanding key word concepts; diagrams and graphs are very helpful

3. Study the text of the material - We use this strategy only when we need detailed knowledge of a subject. Here it is best to skim the material first to get an overview of the subject. This gives you an understanding of its structure, into which you can fit the detail gained from a full, receptive reading of the material.
