Reading is a very popular hobby, most of us like to read novels, newspapers, and magazines. A book is a hub of knowledge, it has the power to change your thoughts and your thoughts have the power to change your destiny. But, the question is do you really remember what you read? Many people will say “no” because we are only able to summarize the book we have read but, we hardly remember any new vocabulary words we have learned or the critical questions that the book must have put forward in front of us. It all happens because we just read, we don’t read effectively. Reading a book and reading a book effectively is two different things. If you really want to remember what you have learned from the book, then you will have to read it effectively. So, today I will be sharing some tips which will help you to read a book effectively:
Keep a pen and a paper to write keywords you find very important. This will make you more aware and conscious while reading. It will also help you remember what you have read for a very long time. Sitting with a pen and paper helps you to concentrate better and helps you to avoid being lazy.
2.Drink an excessive amount of water while reading
Water boosts our brain power and helps us to think faster. It helps our brain cells to work faster and increases our concentration power. Drinking water doesn't let our brains get exhausted and provides energy for them when it becomes tired.
3.Play some quiet music while reading.
Playing some quiet music while reading or studying helps us to concentrate better. You can find this kind of music on YouTube or Spotify. There are numerous playlists to choose from, you can play nature, music, ocean, music, or any other music you like.
4.Underline
Underline all the important lines and new words you find while reading and try to find the meaning of these words at the time you read them, don’t keep them for later.
5.Clear your doubts and queries.
Try to clear all your doubts and queries and don’t keep them for later. Clearing doubts will give you conceptual clarity and will help you to remember them for a longer period.
6.Read aloud to remember what you read.
Try to read louder if you are alone because speaking what you read helps our brain to retain it for a longer time.
