What is post-reading?

Post-reading means using the information you find. You can do this by reciting and reviewing.

4. Recite

What is reciting?

Reciting is checking your understanding and memory of the information. You may discover that you need to reread a section to clarify some information.

Examples of reciting strategies include: rephrasing, drawing, outlining, writing a summary, or telling another person about the information. You should recite new information after reading small sections. Try to recite new material several times, and use different methods of reciting.

5. Review

What is reviewing?

Reviewing is similar to reciting. People review to ensure that they are able to remember the information they have learned. This is particularly important before a test.

Reviewing may be done by reading your notes, comments, highlights, survey questions, survey answers, titles, and summaries.
