Odds are good that you are not good at reading analytically.
You goal is to internalize an ability to read analytically. A professional musician does these things automatically because she has internalized them. For a professional scholar, analytical reading is a foundational skill it is comparable to a professional musician’s ability to recognize notes form chords and play a wide variety of scales. Mastering analytical reading is an important step in learning how to read historically. It amounts to a thorough, complete reading of an article, book, or other material(s) with the goal of attaining understanding of the subject matter at hand (as well as the person who wrote the text).
Unlike inspectional reading, analytical reading is undertaken without regard to time. The third level of reading is analytical reading. We describe how to practice inspectional reading later in this chapter. Inspectional reading is a critical tool in helping you to reach the two highest levels or “types” of reading. Inspectional reading (aka “systematic skimming” or “pre-reading”) is something you must do when you are reading for the purpose of mastering content. to understand “the big picture”) before you settle in for a closer, more focused reading that plumbs the depths of the material.

You may use inspectional reading to browse the contents of a catalog, glance through new emails in your “in-box,” or search your class notes for that key term your professor introduced, etc. The chief difference between this type of reading and elementary reading is that inspectional reading involves the element of time: the less time, the better. The second type or “level” of reading is inspectional reading. If you understand this sentence, you have mastered elementary reading. When you open an email message, follow a cooking recipe, or read a story in a popular magazine or journal you are engaging in elementary reading. Elementary reading is the type (or level) of reading that most people undertake on a regular basis. Elementary readers are able to recognize words, comprehend sentences, and through them understand general, non-specialized texts.
The first type of reading is elementary reading, or what is generally known as basic literacy. Adler and Charles van Doren identify the following four (4) types or “levels” of reading: In their 1940 masterpiece, How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading, authors Mortimer J. 6 How to Read a Historical Monograph Types and Levels of Reading
