Fr Jose Mathew, while animating the discussion on different documents, asked the participants to do an 'involved reading' of the text. Read slowly, mark important sections, write down any questions, clarifications, try to see connections and all that. Quite a few of the participants were amused about this.
I guess this whole process of reading itself is that: involved. Of course, one can also speak of it as opposed to cursory glance. I also guess he must have picked it up during his teaching experience, wherein unless told to do so, the students would 'read' but know nothing about the text!! That's because they have 'read' - run their eyes over the printed letters - but not really read.
