A strategy is a plan for how to do something. One strategy you can use to be a good reader is to look for keywords.
Keywords are the most important words in a text (or a piece of writing). We call them keywords because they are like keys that unlock and open the text. They are the words that tell us the main idea or ideas. They help us understand the meaning, and help us answer questions.
A text may have many words, but some of the words are not so important. Good readers can find the most important words. They are not distracted by unimportant words. When you learn to look carefully for keywords, you can find the meaning of a text more easily. This is a good reading strategy.
