How to remember more of what you read ? For Academic Books 1. Pre - reading : Go through the contents, skim through chapters, read summary, important questions, previour year questions for tests etc... 2. Highlighting : Read the book FIRST. Highlight Later. 3. Take notes AFTER you read : key terms, examples, important points 4. Summarise : Briefly 5. Seek out connected topics : We learn better when more connections are made in our brain. 6. Build Interest : Interest is the mother of learning and remembering more.

guys, my honest opinion is that you should not follow these tips. While they arn't wrong, they most certainly isn't the most effective way to remember what you read. Various studies have conducted that highlighting text and taking notes are one of the worst ways to remember new information. Summarising without looking at the book might be helpful, however it isnt the best way. If you think about it logically, what your really trying to do is recall the information, rather than remembering it. Remembering is kinda like trying to keep something in your head, where as recalling something is like drawing forth upon that knowledge. The latter is what you want to be focused on. What the studies have shown is that by focusing on active recall you are now practising the skills of recalling that information and to keep it in your head, you simply need to practice the skills of recalling over a spaced period of time. So when reading: 1. Ask questions periodically: - What did I just read? - How does this relate to anything that I previously knew - What are the key ideas - Can i explain to someone else. 2. make a spider diagram or a summary sheet or the whole book or per chapter from memory 3. to keep it in your head you need to break the forgetting curve. to do this, try and go over what you learned, once a week, once a month, every 3 months etc. not only is this way more effective, its also less time consuming, meaning you can read more books most of this I learned through the studies found in 'Make It Stick',

Summary 5 General Reading Techniques 1. Pre-Reading. Read the table of contents, chapter sub-headings and bullet-lists within the reading, and any summaries at the back of the chapter. This primes you to read. 2. Highlighting. Highlight only on your second read-through, highlighting key propositions rather than everything. 3. Take notes after you read. As with highlighting, this approach assures you take notes on the most important information. Note key terms, main points, and/or effective examples. 4. Summarize after you read. Distill what you read into the most important points. 5. Seek and read secondary sources. Nurture your interest in the subject and make connections. Reading Practical Books 1. Use what you learn Additional TF pro-tip: Take a break from taking in information. Maybe exercise. Top Dissenting Opinion in Comments Section (DiLLGFX) 1. Focus more on practicing active recall of the information 2. While reading, ask questions such as (1) what did I read? (2) Does this connect to other things I know? (3) What are the key ideas? (4) Can I explain this to someone else? 3. After reading, make a summary sheet or spider diagram from memory 4. Practice active recall with spaced repetition.

Another highlight tip I like to use is to only highlight key words. It's kind of like reviewing cards for me: if I have a lot of information, I may recognize the idea but not having everything forces me to recall more specifically to prove myself that I actually learnt something by trying to remember what is around them and associate ideas in my head. This works wonders if I don't have time to make summaries or flash cards too since the information is condensed to the absolute key words. Great video as always :D

I'm so happy that I discovered your channel 2 years ago and am seeing the growth. Wish you all the luck, and as always, thank you for the insights!

Pls make a video on "How to learn a big amount of educational material yourself, if you are REALLY lagging behind the classmates?" Love your content!

Just what I needed! Reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" for school and needed to get myself to focus and remember it for assignments! Thank you!

I struggle with this a lot just starting graduate school. This video was helpful thanks for keeping your content relevant and helpful. Love your channel.

As a fellow keyboard player, I especially liked your example of how you applied the music theory you read in the textbook to experiencing it for yourself. In my lectures I often discuss the importance of doing what you can to apply the new information you just got as quickly as possible.

I have ADHD and I often miss important points of the text, but I learned to cope with that. After I read something, I always retell it quietly to myself and at the same time I check if I remember everything that I needed by peeking into the book. Hope it's helpful for someone 😘

Thomas, this semester I have only 9 students. Last week I bought them all plastic Yamaha recorders and ORDERED them to practice playing recorder between 45 minute sessions of studying pharmacology. I'm hoping it will help them learn their drugs; I find your advice to take a break and do something totally unlike studying very helpful!

Barbara Oakley's Learning How to Learn is very helpful for this. Recalling and taking notes helps me out.

Highlighting only the important parts is also helpful when you try to summarize what you've read. Most of the time, I am not able to remember everything so after I summarize, I can easily go back and see what I highlighted to remember and the continue to summarize from there.

Most contemporary books make pre-reading & summarizing a snap. The problem for me are interruptions. When I’m in the flow state of studying, I cannot tell you how crippling it is to have my work interrupted.

Perfect video at the perfect time! 💚💚💚

I used large note cards. It’s easier to carry around and it works as a book mark too. Then I transfer them to a note card box. I struggle to put things in my short term memory and this helps to remember the things I read. Helps with my creativity as well.

I also like a lot to talk with someone about what I just read, using my own words and that also helps you a lot to remember what you read.

Somehow I managed to learn these techniques from having to do many long tests, like the Iowa, or the FCAT (Though that one isn’t in use in name anymore), but about all they told me to do to prepare me for the test(s) was to just Gus’s if I didn’t know the answer. I hate time limits on these types of tests. But regardless I had to learn what was the easiest way to get the needed information out of a text while getting the answer as close to or the correct answer as much as possible. So, I just read the title , then I read the 1st question, next I skimmed through the test till I found the corresponding information that would get me to the closest to the answer. Of course, this did teach me how recognize the needed information, but until this video I didn’t really think that these techniques could really be used to remember the information. I’ll try to remember to actually make myself remember the information next time I read like this. Awesome video!

Love the tips!

I love how this was in my recommended a day before I have to finish a book for an essay exam on the book😂😂😂

Very good info on memorizing. Before I took a ''memory test'' for a job I really wanted, I read up on techniques on memorizing, which you have given here, this was years ago, no internet. I got 99 out of 100! which was aces for me, and I got the job. I've also got ADHD and have used many techniques similar to yours about reading and retaining to pass my grades, they work. Thanks for an excellent leaning tool and video..

This was helpful thanx. ❤

Thanks Mr Thomas

Great Videos - my students learn of lot- useful to start discussions.

I've found underlining/pacing with a closed pen as a read increases my retention, but I'm not sure why. I think it's the physical movement reinforcing the memories.

Substitute "write it down" for "highlighting" and this works better. Most people cannot resist the urge to highlight too much, and this adds lots of noise to the process of reviewing the material later. Instead, make brief outline notes of the points that you would like to highlight, then fill in details later. This is also a good way to bootstrap the process of making your own material notes - it allows you to start small and do a little bit at a time.

Absolutely fantastic, you should start your own school, where people can actually improve themselves and develop

"Close your eyes and think about a specific colour." Me: "ok, green" **closes eyes** "Once you open your eyes again, you're gonna start noticing that colour everywhere." Me: **opens eyes and sees a green Thomas** _"holy--"_

Thank you so much sir❤

Another important thing to do is revision. If you read a chapter or say ten pages in a book during morning or afternoon, revise the content at night within 10 minutes. The next day, revise it within 2 minutes. One week after this, revise it within a minute by looking at important points. This is very effective. Repetition is a way to keep content of books fixed in your mind for long term recall. if you do a practical task related to content of the book, you will revise too.

Very usefull info. Thank u...

New subscriber here! Can’t wait for more videos

As one of my professors said regarding highlighting (may be someone else's quote, not sure); If everything's important, nothing is important.

Now that I've watched this video once, I can rewatch it and take notes

Everybody is talking about how they noticed the green. My first thought was red, and I didn’t even notice the green until I rewatched that part- shows the impact of focus.

None of my teachers talked as fast as you. I can't listen as fast as you talk. Yay, I remembered I could slow you down in settings.
