 * Summarizing and Note Taking**

These skills promote greater comprehension by asking students to analyze a subject to expose what's essential and then put it in their own words. According to research, this requires substituting, deleting, and keeping some things and having an awareness of the basic structure of the information presented. > **Applications:** > * Provide a set of rules for creating a summary. > * When summarizing, ask students to question what is unclear, clarify those questions, and then predict what will happen next in the text.

Research shows that taking more notes is better than fewer notes, though verbatim note taking is ineffective because it does not allow time to process the information. Teachers should encourage and give time for review and revision of notes; notes can be the best study guides for tests. > **Applications:** > * Use teacher-prepared notes. > * Stick to a consistent format for notes, although students can refine the notes as necessary.
