Having a conversation with a friend is most like active reading.
You should be an active reader if you are trying to remember the information that you are reading.
Active reading: Find and read books, magazines, newspaper etc - Search and learn new stuff actively. Try to get knowledge from all possible sources.Passive reading: Read what comes your way - like reading mails, textbooks etc.I won't tell which is good for you. You are supposed to know it by now. The sad thing is that many people just don't care.

Sentences written in active voice are clearer and more straightforward than those written in passive voice. In active voice, the subject is doing something rather than having something done to them. An example of passive voice is, "He was reading the book his cousin had written." Active voice may read, "He's reading the book his cousin wrote."
Making predictions in active reading involves using clues from the text to anticipate what will happen next or what the author's main point might be. This strategy helps engage readers and encourages them to think critically about the material. By actively predicting, readers can set goals for their reading and stay focused on key ideas.
One active reading strategy that helps a reader find ways to relate to the story is making connections. This involves linking aspects of the text to one's own experiences, other texts, or the world. By actively seeking out these connections, readers can better understand and engage with the material.
Active readers require focus, time, and interest. Active readers are not active readers unless they are interested, focused and have set aside time for reading.

Active readers are those who read a lot, and go through large amounts of reading material for enjoyment or purpose (books, newspapers, magazines, etc.) Passive readers do not read that much, and only seek out selective reading material.
Critical reading is considered an active process of discovery because it involves engaging with the text by questioning, analyzing, and evaluating the content. Through critical reading, readers actively seek to uncover the author's arguments, assumptions, and biases, leading to new insights and understandings that may not be apparent on the surface. This process allows readers to think deeply about the text and form their own opinions based on evidence and reasoning.

Close reading involves careful analysis of a text, paying attention to details, themes, and nuances to fully understand and appreciate its meaning. By engaging in a dialogue with the text, readers can delve deeper into the author's intentions, style, and underlying messages.
Drawing inferences
Active readers engage with the text by questioning, reflecting, and interpreting the meaning of what they are reading. They often make connections to their own experiences or prior knowledge to deepen their understanding. This continuous process of thinking helps them to critically analyze and engage with the material at a deeper level.
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.
