It's true that sometimes teachers can assign more than a thousand pages for the sake of completing the entire book. Really how much does the kid remember by the next holiday or so. I remember going through excruciating pages of my world history class with no real instruction on how to remember all of It well. I like the four questions that the book mentions to let the student understand and remember the real big points in order to see the big picture and learn how to connect them efficiently (p.147)
I like how the chapter gives pointers on preparing the student with their textbooks. Kids might read the book, but miss the big points especially a non-motivated student. Try to facilitate in and way possible is always the best thing. the textbook jigsaw sheet on pg.153 seems like a great way of organizing big steps we teachers should take to keep students moving forward.
Like math textbooks, music notation can be applied in the same way and can be just as confusing and hard to understand. If the student can't get the fundamentals that makes music reading easy. The student will fall behind, and eventually leading to quiting.
This Chapter had may important guides to lead students into the right direction. Keep students regurgitating waht theu learn in such a manner they don't just become robots to the materials.
