Reading Tips
Pay attention
Read every word.
Take notes.
Ask yourself questions
What is the main idea?
What kind of writing is it?
What do I need to take from this?
Stop talking to yourself while you read.
Vocalizing, this is the actual moving of your lips as you read.
Subvocalizing, this is talking to yourself in your head as you’re silently read.
Both of these will slow down your reading, reading should be an activity which involves only the eyes and brain.
Don’t keep re-reading the same phrases.
This will double or even triple your reading time, and often does not result in better comprehension.
Pay closer attention the first time you read through something, giving it your complete attention.
Vary your reading rate.
An efficient reader speeds up for easier material and slows down for harder material. If you read the material fast that is hard to comprehend, you will have a hard time remembering it.
Faster reading rate means less comprehension.
Read in the proper Environment
Make sure you are comfortable, and can pay attention in your environment, avoid distractions.
