Social Studies Study Skills:
How to read a textbook It is not necessary to read every word of a textbook chapter. What is more important is to use textbook guideposts and **think** about what you are reading and **ask yourself questions** about the content you have just read.
 * Use heading and subheadings to help with summaries and notes. These will tip you off to the main points and ideas
 * Be aware of key words such as "causes, effects," etc.
 * Notice bold faced, italicized words. Vocabulary words are often defined within the text.
 * Read the charts, maps and graphs, paying attention to legends, keys and labels
 * Use the index and glossary to find content and define words
