■ Skimming

After you establish the reliability of a site, skim the contents, focusing on

• headings,
• images,
• links, and
• first and last sentences.

Skimming helps you preview the site. The cues above help you understand what information is available and how it is organized.

■ Study-Reading

Now you’re ready to read the material with more care. Do the following:

• Think before you read.
• Pause during your reading.
• Reflect after reading.
