How to make reading effective?
Sometime back I wrote about the role of reading regularly in one's success. Next logical step is hoe to make reading effective to meet our objective to grand success in examinations. A few steps are mentioned below, that I consider, would be quite useful:
1. Select the topic of study, which the teacher is about to teach in the class, the next day.
2. Break the topic of reading in sub-parts, such as Definitions, Derivations, Laws, Formulas, examples, etc.
3. While reading take down brief notes under these sub-parts.
4. Make a list of points or doubts, which you find difficult to understand.
5 After completion of reading session, sit down quietly and try to revise what you have study, and how much you can recall. A few minutes spent on this activity would be very useful.
6. In the class next day pay attention to the teacher to clarify your doubts, which you have listed while reading. It will help you to concentrate on doubts more effectively and make the class more objective.
