Identifying the aim of reading - The reader should be clear about what he wants to obtain from reading the text.
Selecting the relevant text - The reader should focus on those parts of the text relevant to the identified aim and overlook the rest.
Noting down the important points - The reader should note down the important points, quotations, or lines that the reader thinks are useful. These notes may come to help while studying the subject later.
Understanding the writer - When we read fiction, we should understand the writer’s writing style of language, emotion, and words used by the writer.
