Reading strategies are cognitive tools that help the reader...

Reading the text in detail, word by word, analyzing all grammatical structures for deep comprehension.

Reading the text quickly to get the main idea (gist), focusing on titles, subtitles, the first and last paragraphs, and key words.

Looking for specific information in the text (such as a name, date, or number) without reading the entire text.

Translating the text literally, word by word, into the native language, without concern for the overall meaning.
