How
To Read/study And Understand Everything. 2015/2016
Do you get to the bottom of a page and you
realized that you have just been moving round the page without getting anything
from the page? And you begin to ask yourself why and why not picking out all
the contents of the page, just like watching a movie, and understanding every
words and actions by scenes? It happens
to everybody at some points or another. Just as it is, that very interesting
movie you sometimes ago watched and to date, you can chorus those words and
actions of each scene, so also it is to studying or reading every pages you
come across in that ugly looking and hard to understand textbook of yours and
getting every part of the page, if and
if only these steps are critically understood, followed and put into practice.
1.
Distract
all distractions away from your side.
Do away with your phones,
TV set, computer, cut out all the music because all these have the capacity to
limit your rate of assimilation especially if you are reading something
difficult. So before reading at all, ensure you find yourself a very
comfortable and distraction free location. To make your rate of assimilation
fast, interesting and encouraging, get yourself a soft drink, cool water,
snacks that are very light. Make yourself more comfortable with the use of room
freshening perfume. It helps you to read and understand nearly everything.
Survey
all you want to study first before you do your close reading(what is your studying style?..check it out here).
Especially
if you reading something difficult, don’t spoil the end for yourself by first
concentrating on the first hard headed paragraph. Instead, survey and skim all
round what you need to read, to get the idea and a little understanding about
what you want to read. Believe you are a visitor in the city of the topic you
want to study. Then you have to skim around to know how the city looks like,
kind of people living there and what kind of goods on market in the city etc.
So now that you have the idea of what the book entails right at heart. Read
over closely with your imagination widely open and view what you are reading
like a movie.
2.
Picture
what you are reading with your inner mind.
Picture
everything as real as possible, turn it around like you are watching a movie.
Try to picture it as realistically as possible. This makes it fun and
interesting, and it will make you remember and understand better what you are
reading a lot better.How do you picture when you read?
3.
Read
it aloud and listen to your voice.
Many
people find it easier to stay focus on what they are reading by saying those
words out aloud in that locked room. It becomes difficult to forget anything
you speak to your own self.How do you read aloud,without disturbing?
4.
Take
a break, move around Use your ear phone set and webcam to record what you are
reading aloud.
Any difficult sentence or
statement, read it more than one time slowly, and then increase your speed on
it as you recording it, if your laptop has a webcam, put it on and explain the
textbook to yourself, by displaying on the screen, play this to yourself at
your leisure time. Now that you having a copy in your phone, at any time, use
your ear phone set, listen to it just like you do listen to other mp3 songs.
Dear, while others are busy playing around, you are actually reading and
studying by listening to your own self.What are the powerful benefits of these?
5.
Make
up questions for yourself after you first read through. At every margin of
each page.
Write questions down from
every page you go through in the first reading through. Underline anything that
interests you about the solution to the question set. Highlight the important
contents and ideas. How do I set a productive question?
6.
Draft
out a brief summary of each paragraphs or pages at the bottom of each page.
Start
taking note of anything interesting and that can get away from your memory in a
short time. Page after pages, give a summary about what the page contains. This
will break up the reading and allow you to go through it with much careful
attention.How do I draft out brief summary of each paragraphs ?
7.
Do
your review ,to read and get answers to all the questions you have
Read
through targeting to answer the questions you have on your margins. Read the
questions before you start reading the content of each page. Read to get the
detail answer to the questions.
8.
Have
your revision by going through all the summary you have in each page.
Read and assimilate all the
summary in each page, you can simplify it by giving it numbers, duplicate it as
many and more piece of paper you see around you. The more you write it, the
more you assimilate it and the better you become.You might want to check out how to carry out an unforgetable revision
