1) The atmosphere for reading.
Locate a peaceful area where you can read without being bothered by outside and internal disturbances. This could be a room apart from your family or even your car. Switch off the music and TV.
2) Glance over it.
Before reading the text word for word, skim it. Learning to read quickly will help you make up for lost time by allowing your subconscious to take in the text's major themes.
3) See it.
As you read, visualise the scenarios or ideas you are reading about in your mind's eye and make diagrams or drawings of what the text is describing.
4.Recap the material you've read.
Make physical notes and keep a notepad close at hand. If necessary, jot down your memories of each paragraph, or just concentrate on each chapter. Jot down any information that strikes you as particularly noteworthy.
Highlight or underline important terms or concepts that you wish to keep in mind.
After that, divide your notes into three categories: supporting information, secondary notions, and main concepts
5) Say aloud what you read.
If you are an auditory learner, read the content aloud many times and record yourself so that you can review the information later on by listening to what you want to remember instead of reading your written notes again.
6) Look for a link.
Connect what you are reading to a prior experience or knowledge you possess. When we connect personally, we learn more quickly and retain more information.
7) Take up teaching.
Share with a friend or family member the ideas you just read. Go back and reread, maybe make more notes, and draw mental links if you are unable to explain something.
8) Snatch up a marker.
Take up a challenging book and underline the words you don't understand so you can check them up later, rather than watching TV or using your phone to play games. Studies indicate that being able to identify the majority of words on a page "by sight" is a prerequisite for becoming a competent reader.
9) The final section.
The most significant lesson is typically found in the final paragraph of a chapter, so focus on it especially to help you retain the entire lesson.
10) Last check.
After reading through the material, spend some time writing down the lessons you learnt. You'll remember the knowledge better if you internalise it. In order to determine what further to study, a review can also assist you in identifying the topics you still do not fully understand.
