Postview:
With a nonfiction textbook, the postviewing should be done
immediately after reading a chapter. On the other hand, fiction—or
nonfiction with a single, strong narrative flow—may be postviewed as a
whole.
Postviewing is the time to go over the entire assignment and think
through the relationship of each part of the chapter, section or book to
the whole. Also, you should make any final changes that seem
appropriate on your recall pattern.

Review:
At regular intervals, preferably about once a week, you should
look over your recall patterns and refresh your memory of the material
you’ve read and how it relates to other materials in the course.
As you can see, in the layered approach to study, only a portion of the
time is devoted to what we normally think of as “reading.” Furthermore,
the more a person needs to absorb written material for academic or
business purposes, the 
less
time he should expect to spend reading. On
the other hand a greater proportion of time will be required for
overviewing, previewing, postviewing and reviewing.
We suggest these guidelines for time allotment:
When going over material in preparation for an exam, devote equal
time to previewing, reading and postviewing. In doing background
reading for a research paper, however, it may be best to spend less time
in previewing and postviewing—say about a third of the total hours you
devote to the entire assignment. The rest of the time, about two-thirds of
the total, should involve reading.
In contrast, if you’re reading for pleasure, you might spend minimal
time in previewing and postviewing a book or article. Almost all of your
time would be devoted to reading.
What kind of comprehension can a person expect at each stage of the
layered-reading process? Our experts have discovered that there are five
levels of comprehension, which correspond roughly to the five phases of
the Multiple Reading Process:
