Hi guys,
I'd like to know if there are methods of reading a material and actually remember what it is talking about. I've read somewhere before that it helps to imagine and visualize what the reading is saying. But are there any more?
For me, it's fairly easy to remember things if it's of my interest. However, if it's reading a textbook, I'm preoccupied with literally focusing all of my energy on staring at the words and trying not to mispronounce them that I can't visualize - aka, I can't multitask. This intensifies if i'm reading out loud, meaning i'm reading just to read... I'm unable to preserve a lot of the content in my memory.
Are there ways to make me a better reader?
