Strategy: I used a reading strategy called phrasing, or
chunking, where you break a long, complex sentence or paragraph into smaller,
more manageable bits, to try to understand it better.
“The process of reading is not a half-sleep,
but, in highest
sense, an exercise, a gymnast’s struggle;
that the reader is to do something for himself,
must be on the alert,
must himself or herself construct indeed the poem,
argument,
history,
metaphysical essay—
the text furnishing the hints,
the clue,
the start or frame-work.” --Walt Whitman
