6. reading strategies
The action or skill of reading a material.

we are also ask to reflect and discuss our own reading preferences and strategies when dealing with printed materials and digital materials.

i) printed materials
usually i'll read through once then i'll highlight the main points and then file them all in orderly inside a file so that it'll be much more easier for me to refer when i need to.

ii) digital materials
i'll enlarge to 100% view first before i start to read and stop reading for awhile when my eyes are tiring. Sometimes i'll save the pages in my computer and continue reading when i'm free.
