Welcome back to school! Fall into autumn with terrific new books! Are you having trouble remembering what you read in your textbooks?  Try these hints: Before you read:  *Take note of the headings, subtitles, bold face print, italics, pictures, graphs, captions.  Ask yourself what you already know about this topic. *READ THE SUMMARY, if the chapter has one!!  This is the most important information in the chapter.  Information contained in the summary will definitely be on any tests! As you read: *Turn each subtitle into a question.  Then read that chunk to find the answer to the question. *After reading each chunk, see if you can remember what you read.  If not, try one of the following fix-up strategies:    --reread the section    --read more slowly or more quickly    --look up unknown words    --see if the charts, pictures, captions offer help *Take notes, if it does not distract you, as you read. After reading: *Review the summary again, to make sure you understood all the parts of the selection. *Take notes, if you did not do so as you read. *To study, make a quiz, flashcards, an outline, or a graphic organizer.
