This is part 2 of a 3 part workshop series where we will use evidence-based learning strategies and mindfulness practices to help you settle and focus your mind, create an intentional approach to how you navigate text, and develop strategies for deep reading.

Topics covered during this session will include:
- Exploring the difference between focused attention and open monitoring mindfulness techniques

- Identifying what to strategically skip and skim, while maintaining your learning
- Variants of common reading strategies in order to support choices around skimming and skipping
