Reading Doesn’t Necessarily Mean Learning
It is possible for a student to “read” and take fantastic notes on textbook information and actually learn virtually nothing. Just because your student can take great notes from the book doesn’t mean he/she is learning much from the process. Textbooks do a wonderful job highlighting key information for students, perhaps too good a job. Students can become adept at picking out the key information without processing any of that information, and, therefore, not learning/understanding it.
