How to read books!
1. Set a specific goal
Before you start reading a book, it is important to set a specific goal. Ask yourself why you want to read the book and what you hope to gain from it. This will help you stay focused and motivated while reading the book.
2. Create a reading schedule
Creating a reading schedule can help you stay on track and ensure that you finish the book within a specific timeframe. Set aside a specific time each day for reading and stick to it. This will help you form a reading habit and make reading a regular part of your daily routine.
3. Eliminate distractions
Distractions can make it difficult to focus while reading a book. Therefore, it is important to eliminate distractions such as social media, television, and other electronic devices while reading a book. Find a quiet and comfortable place to read and eliminate any potential distractions.
4. Take breaks
Reading for long periods can be tiring and can make it difficult to retain information. Therefore, it is important to take breaks while reading a book. Take short breaks between chapters or sections and use the time to rest and recharge.
5. Highlight important information
Highlighting important information can help you retain information and make it easier to review later. Use a highlighter or make notes in the margin to mark important information.
6. Review and summarize
After finishing a book, it is important to review and summarize the information. This will help you retain the information and apply it in your daily life. Write a summary of the book and identify the key takeaways.
7. Read actively
Active reading involves engaging with the text and thinking critically about the information presented. This involves asking questions, making connections, and drawing conclusions based on the information presented. Active reading can help you retain information and improve your comprehension skills.
In conclusion, reading books is an essential activity for personal growth and development. By setting specific goals, creating a reading schedule, eliminating distractions, taking breaks, highlighting important information, reviewing and summarizing, and reading actively, you can read books effectively and get the most out of the information presented.

Thank you for this. Reading is indeed fun not a chore.Lizzie Mustard wrote: ↑05 Oct 2023, 14:27 Oh dear, that all seems a bit serious to me. I read for enjoyment. I also read to learn things, but I don't have a rigid schedule such as you suggest. Children learn from what they see adults around them doing. Reading is fun and should be pleasant hobby, not presented as a chore.

I agree 100%. A rigid schedule like that would ruin reading for me. It would completely remove the enjoyment.Lizzie Mustard wrote: ↑05 Oct 2023, 14:27 Oh dear, that all seems a bit serious to me.
