An important skill to have while studying or writing a report is the ability to find the main points in any type of text. Textbook marking is a systematic way of marking, highlighting, and labeling ideas to show how they are related to each other and which are most important. It also helps you to remember what you had read.
At the end of the study-reading stage of textbook reading, you should look for and mark these items: main ideas, major supporting details, and new vocabulary. Beyond these three basic elements of textbook marking, you should use your experience in lecture and lab to decide if you need to mark more. Always mark information that is unclear; to remind yourself to find out what it means before you are tested on the material. The benefit of doing this is, you have six books that you have collected and it would be a waste of time to go back through them again, when highlighted you can just go to where you have previously marked and pull out what you need.
A personalized system will work well as long as it is consistent, makes sense to you and achieves the main goal of textbook marking; showing the relationships between ideas in what you read.
