One-minute review: Read the first paragraph and then briefly summarize what the paragraph said. Then go on to the next paragraph and do the same. Don’t leave each paragraph until you have satisfactorily summarized briefly what the paragraph said. And so on through the chapter.
Most important! After summarizing each paragraph, and having reviewed your paragraph summaries, spend some time reflecting on what you have read. What questions does the chapter raise about the topic? What do these ideas mean to you? What don’t you understand? You’ll be better able to ask questions if you try to state clearly what you don’t know.

Comment: When you really need to “study” the chapter, then this paragraph-by-paragraph summary will help you follow the chapter’s ideas. RayS.
