❓ Turn Headings into Questions
How about converting each heading or subheading from the survey into a question? This activity helps to activate your brain thereby making it more ready to find answers during the reading process.
📖 Read with Purpose
Read the specific area very carefully to provide answers to the questions you came up with. Concentrate on the main ideas and supporting details instead of doing a passive reading.
🗣️ Recite Key Points
You can speak, write or shout out from memory your answers and other important points after you have read the section. This not only keeps your understanding strong but also spotlights the areas where you lack knowledge.
🔁 Review Regularly
Regularly coming back to your questions and summaries will help you keep the information in memory. Spaced intervals are to be used for long-term memory maximization.
📝 Take Notes
Make short notes, draw diagrams, or create mind maps to arrange the information. Your engagement with the material during the activity will not only help you to recall but also to understand the concept better.
💡 Apply Knowledge
Doing what you have just read in practice questions, discussions, or teaching others is encouraged. The application of knowledge will make one's learning not only through memorization but also deeper.
