Reading Outline

Guide

 

A Reading Outline is a sequential list of items to be studied divided among headings, subheadings, and details or vocabulary.

 

Rationale:  Many learners are literal and think sequentially.  Reading Outlines can later be used as a review tool and a table of contents to paginate notes.   

 

Instructions:  Use roman numerals for headings, letters for subheadings, and numbers for vocabulary, continuing to number vocabulary so that there is one contiguous vocabulary list.
