A common noun for reading material could be "book" or "magazine."
Regularly remove out-of-date periodicals from the reception area. Set up a system to recycle or donate old magazines. Encourage staff and visitors to keep the area tidy and dispose of any expired reading material.
Summarizing the main points of the text, annotating important details, or asking questions to deepen understanding are effective active reading strategies to use after reading a text. These strategies can help reinforce comprehension and retention of the material.
All reading materials are appropriate, except for study material and difficult books. It might be hard to make useful notes while on the toilet. Magazines are the best choice. The time it takes to read one article will usually not exceed the appropriate time for using of the toilet.
