RC 101

Don't

• Read for completion
• Focus only on content [what you're reading]
• Assume notes aren't needed
• Think that the way you read now is how you'll read forever
• Dawdle

DO

• Read for comprehension
• Focus on content [what you're reading] + skill [how you're reading]
• Take + revisit notes (where makes most sense to house them?)
• Record time spent reading (notes or calendar) + track progress
• Stay mission-oriented w/school readings

Above all, remember -

• Skill-building is a PROCESS. Becoming a strong reader, someone who LIKES reading, can take time!
• Skill-building is a CHOICE. Stay focused and purposeful to read the rewards.
• To explore your identity as a reader (for example, what do you like to read and why? What do you NOT like to read? Consider text types, topics, timing etc.)
