Tips for Reading Long Documents
If possible, have in my mind what you
are looking for before reading a long document.
If an index or table of contents is not present, try
scanning the first words of a paragraph to cue-in on a topic
of interest.
Scan for italicized words or capitalized proper nouns to
help seek a topic, or check for pictures or images that will
be near the text of interest.
When reading a long document on the internet, scan for hyperlinks
for your topic that could direct you to a much shorter
document.
