Textbook marking helps you remember what you read, distinguish important from less important information, and it efficient from of taking notes, doing this by highlighting, and labeling ideas to show how they are related to each other and which are most important like the main ideas, details, and new vocabulary, different colored highlighters can help you with differentiation between main ideas and details, and finally use the word clues in order to guides you to clarity and further explain for the main idea, and also they are the words that the lecture uses to indicate the angel to take when you answer the question, I would like to provide an example for the words clue, describe is a clue word and its meaning is to Wright a detailed account or verbal picture in a logical sequence or story form. I think this chapter will help us achieving our goals in understanding, remembering, and keep us alert by using the highlighters, and symbols.

In this chapter an author is describe the difference between fact and inference, the fact is a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred; "first you must collect all the facts of the case. And also it’s a statement or assertions of verified information about something that is the case or has happened, inference are often confused with facts. A factual statement can be made after some observation, stays within what can be observed, can be made in limited number, and provides closest approach to certainty, while the inferential statement can be made any time, goes beyond what can be observed, can be made in unlimited number, and shows some degree of probability, All the facts are not always presented to the reader or problem solver. They have to be able to infer with skill to put the pieces together and see the entire picture. Facts and inferences are linked together through generalizations, and how to draw generalizations that can be supported by facts.

A fact is defined as something that actually exists, or something having objective reality that can be verified according to an established standard of evaluation, Alternatively, "fact" may also indicate an allegation or stipulation of something that may or may not be a "true fact”, Fact may also indicate findings derived through a process of evaluation, including review of testimony, direct observation, or otherwise, as distinguishable from matters of inference or speculation.. Some versions of the correspondence theory of truth hold that what makes a sentence true is that it corresponds to a fact this theory presupposes the existence of an objective world. The Slingshot argument claims to show that all true statements stand for the same thing - the truth value true. If this argument holds, and facts are taken to be what true statements stand for, then we reach the counter-intuitive conclusion that there is only one fact "the truth", facts need to be able to have reliability, and possibility in order to determine facts.

In this chapter the author discusses the word precision, important things he had mentioned. To improve your thinking try to use accurate words, words enable us to communicate with others and ourselves, one of the best to make a rich foundation of words and know how to use them is the writing, and it helps us to describe our thoughts. Clear understanding needs clear thinking and word clarification by understand what benefits can we get from the dictionary, our ability to use a number of different flexible perspective is based partly to the fact that can be stretched, this flexibility is in fact closely related to the flexibility that occurs in the meaning of the word, the meaning of most words is largely determined by the contrast of one word with others, related words. The boundaries of the meaning of a word are not fixed with perfect precision, so it’s best to start by asking when we can rightly use a word. A new word or an old word used in a new sense remains quite vague unless there is an explicit definition. And if there is one, we can ask where the vague boundaries are in the terms used in the definition itself. Such questions will serve to alert us to fallacies or untested presuppositions that sometimes slip in because of movable boundaries. Reading critically allows us to think clearly and understand effectively.

Inference is the process of making assumptions, and drawing conclusion about information when an author’s opinion or ideas are not directly stated. So this chapter will teach you how to read textbooks and other material so you can pull more meaning from them, it focuses on strategies that will help you draw conclusions from your reading…an authors diction, or choice of words, is significant when you are trying to work out exactly what he means. There are strategies will help you to effectively infer meaning when an author does not directly state his main points, understand the author reason for writing , note comparisons and implied similarities to illustrate and explain an unfamiliar situation, understand an authors use of tone, the tone that an author use to discuss the subject matter, detect an authors bias by picturing the person with whom you are having a textbook conversation, and recognize information gaps by reading the entire textbook, noting the authors use of key words and phrases. One problem will occur for students is how much to infer, recognize an authors perspective and use the text to support your conclusion are a solution to prevent infer too much.

In this chapter the author is emphasis about how to manage our reading time, what is efficient reading?, how to be more efficient reader, and how to develop a daily reading plan.
The efficient reading is to be able to read and comprehend textbooks material in an appropriate amount of time and that depends on many factors like the level of the difficulty and the grade you would like to earn.
In order to become more efficient reader we have to judge our reading rate by speeding reading, critical reading which its goal is to slow down, take time to digest an author point, reading quickly, skimming which is mean to reading only some words which helps us mentally prepare, trying to figure out the meaning using by rereading, using our fingertips to follow each word in order to improve our reading speed.
The previously steps guide us to have a much better chance of meeting our reading goals

Increasing your vocabulary will increase our ability to think critically, in order to achieve this we have to use a lot of ways.
Using a dictionary is an important devise to come up with a lot of words which can help us to reflect our impression.
A word map is an important tool to help us learn a new vocabulary through six steps as the following:
Draw a circle and write a new vocabulary word in the center, write the sentence in which you found the word in , and then ask yourself what do you think the word mean, then look what does the word mean in the dictionary , create your own sentence, and finally identify the new word.
As I mentioned earlier that will help us increasing our vocabulary and allow us to understand the text better, and think more effectively.
Best regards,
