Attimes it get to straining to read. Either because we've had a long day or we are hungry, we wanna sleep or we wanna just have fun. At such points we fail to understand what we are reading.


I came up with this post to basically help those in the "reading" society, read more effectively. This post is gonno run through every Fridays for a month So please stay tuned.

First, you need to kill distractions
Distraction is the mother of failure (that's why we pray against it in church). It could come to you in various forms; as hunger, as sleep, as your phone, laptop, a friend, a movie, whatever! Just make sure it is eliminated before you start reading because it gets your attention hacked.

Keep your dictionary close
many readers are very passive when reading. They see a big word that they don't understand and they don't bother checking out the meaning. It very dangerous cause it shows that you don't even understand the meaning of words(so you are wasting time with the book). So it's important to have a dictionary by you (you could use your phones dictionary for easy access)

Create mental pictures
As childish as it sounds, it's the best way of memorizing any information. Create a picture of what you are reading. Be it anything. You remember a picture more effectively than a word.

Read aloud
Try reading aloud as it also....

Not enough tips. With these and even more mentioned it would never help a business graduate understand an engineering guide. Some texts are made to stay understandable only to a select few.
