INTRODUCTION
Active reading is reading something related to the determination to understand and evaluate
the relevance to needs. In addition, the simple task and re-reading towards the material aspect
does not show an effective way to create understanding and learn. Actively and critically
engaging with the content help to save time (Bouali, 2020). For instance, some of the ways that
help to encourage active reading are highlighting, reading aloud, thinking aloud, making
predictions, questioning, and many more. In addition, it usually helps to promote active reading
among the children. In this report, the major of discussion is based on two question where one is
useful to elaborate about the strategies that is used in order to promote the active reading. The
other mentioned question is usually related with personal experience (Brackney and Lane, 2021).
MAIN BODY
The active reading strategies usually focus on the various aspects that help boost the reading
among the children. The methods are implemented to refer to behaviour that is obliged for the
new development towards active reading. Active reading is defined as the technique which is
usually help in order to stay focused and used to retain more information. Therefore, the skill
takes time and persistent efforts to develop and formulate the sense of active reading. In this,
some reliable strategies are used to configure active reading. One of the strategies is related to
the bad habit of glossing over vaguely familiar words (Hidayad, 2018). It is helpful for the
student when they are reading a difficult passage or book for an assignment, take time to observe
the challenging words. In addition, the idenitifcation of new comment help provide the aspect of
active reading. Therefore, finding the main and thesis is another strategy that plays a vital role in
active reading. In this, the thesis or main idea is comprehensive and play vital role in the finding.
It is also appropriate for the development when the practice of result is used to develop in the
text article each year in the context of reading any passage or theme. The formulation of the
preliminary outline is also an aspect which regulate the active reading persistently. The complex
topic or chapter are used to read that require time. So, the pages are scanned and subtitles and
other information of the structure is being adopted for the reading section in comprehensive ways
(Kidd, 2021).
While reading any book or chapter, there is essential behaviour that students usually follow
by reading with pencil to outline or highlight critical parts in books. In addition, it usually

promotes active reading and develops different behaviour among the people to mark and rectify
the essential notes (Mork, 2019). Therefore, the use of pencil while reading is an instrument
which help to provide the context that is related with active reading. The technique of drawing
and mapping plays vital aspect within the active task. The visual learner is also creating mind
map, Venn diagram in order to generate the understanding which help to represent the
information. In addition, the shrinking outline is defined as the another helpful tool which help to
reinforce the information which is based on reading towards the class notes. In order to making
outline, the re write material which is based on the text regards the notes (Muhassin, Annisa and
Hidayati, 2021).
Moreover, the it is time consuming exercise in order to write the notes and play effective
one. Whereas, it predominately analysed that the writing is the necessary part of active reading.
The shrinking outline takes time, but they are proper for studying with the context of student. It
helps to promote the behaviour that is important for the active reading and play role that is best
suited for the student's knowledge building and skill development. At last, the strategies which
may counter the suffix that implement the positive behaviour and promote active reading are
reading books or chapters again and again. As per the scientific study, it is well evaluated that
repetition is beneficial for the retention of information (Sholeh, Rosalina and Weganova, 2020).
My reading habit is based on different techniques that depend on chapter and their
associated difficulties. Usually, I was make reading with my daily practice and it provide me
aspect to understand the other scenario. With this, it is helpful because they typically formulate
the habit of reading. Moreover, I also have may reading space which is beneficial for the study
and reading when I used to free to read without any disturbance (Traester, Kervina, and
Brathwaite, 2021). With this all aspect, I always focus on reading a book or other thing with the
use of a pencil to highlight the important notes that I want to remember. I also take an approach
related to the reading habit to re-reading my favourite novel that interests me. In order to enhance
the reading habit, the primary aspect is creating and formulating reading list, set a goal, schedule
a time for the reading, find a good environment and place to read the book that generate positive
approach and peace within the mind and try to eliminate the distraction which may render the
active reading (Thohir, Wardana Nurtaat, and Putera, 2021).

CONCLUSION
As per the above discussion, it is well analysed that the student is usually focused on the study
for a longer time and they must place the strategies related to the active reading habit. In
addition, active reading may help create the contribution to raising knowledge and developing
reinforce for the study. Some of the essential aspects that are followed within the context to
active reading are the use of pencil, highlighting, and many more aspects related to active
reading. The student has their different tool and technique that they configure for the appropriate
reading habit. Moreover, the reading habit is defined as the important source of gathering the
