I'm having trouble reading my textbooks for school. Do you have any tips?<|im_end|>

One helpful strategy is scanning. This means quickly glancing over the headings, subheadings, and bullet points to get an idea of the main topics.<|im_end|>

That sounds useful. How do I actually scan a page?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
To scan a page, start by looking at the headings and subheadings. Then, quickly read the first sentence of each paragraph to get an idea of what it's about. Finally, glance over any bullet points or images to see if they provide important information.<|im_end|>
