[00:00.00] How to Study Read [00:04.00]Most students don't know how to study read. [00:08.83]They usually open their textbooks to the assigned page and start reading. [00:15.86]But before long,their minds have wandered off somewhere. [00:21.79]Or they read and mark up the pages [00:27.14]by underlining everything that seems important. [00:32.21]Study reading is different from regular reading. [00:37.64]You are expected to remember more,and in most cases, [00:43.91]will be tested on what you read. [00:48.56]Here is a four-step method for study reading [00:54.10]that can help improve comprehension [00:59.35]and promote retention of what is read. [01:04.52]Step One:Prepare to Read [01:08.68]It's important to prepare yourself to read. [01:14.21]Much time can be lost when you try plunk yourself [01:20.56]into reading an assigned chapter when your mind isn't ready. [01:27.12]Because you can think faster than you can read, [01:32.19]your mind can easily go into daydreams ot other thoughts [01:38.72]if you aren't ready to read an assignment. [01:43.47]The wisest thing to do is skim over the chapter to be read. [01:50.42]Let the title sink in . [01:53.95]Read an opening paragraph or two see what the chapter is about. [02:00.69]Then read the headings and subheadings. [02:05.83]Next read the summary or the last couple of paragraphs. [02:12.00]It many not make a lot of sense, [02:16.15]but your mind will begin to clear out other thoughts. [02:21.79]You'll begin to think about the content of the chapter. [02:27.25]If there are study questions at the end of chapter,read those. [02:34.70]Having questions about what you are reading helps concentration [02:41.54]and gives you a purpose for reading. [02:46.40]Step Two:Read [02:49.95]After you've looked over the chapter,you are ready to read. [02:55.91]If you don't have any questions about the content of the chapter,make some up. [03:03.85]You can do this by turning the title and headings into questions. [03:11.11]If you are reading a long chapter,don't try to read too much at once. [03:18.87]It's better if you read from one heading to the next. [03:24.51]Then stop and follow Step Three below. [03:29.76]If there are no headings in the chapter,read about two pages; [03:36.42]then stop and follow Step Three below. [03:41.57]Step Three:Examine What You Read [03:46.43]By reading only short passages and then stopping, [03:51.89]you stand a better chance of concentrating on the chapter's content. [03:58.52]The third step is now to examine what you read. [04:03.98]Put the textbook aside,and write some notes in your own words. [04:10.54]In a few key words or phrases,write down the major points you just read. [04:18.19]Research shows that doing this aids comprehension [04:24.33]and retention for future tests. [04:28.90]If you don't believe in taking reading notes, [04:33.84]at least try to recite to yourself th key points you just read. [04:40.89]When you are satisfied you understand what you read, [04:46.15]then read from the next heading to the next, [04:51.21]stopping every once in a while to take notes or go over what you read. [04:58.76]Follow this step until you are finished with the chapter. [05:04.80]Though this may seem slow, [05:08.53]as you practice this study reading technique, [05:13.57]you'll discover it's really faster because you don't waste time [05:19.82]by losing concentration or having to reread what you've read. [05:26.45]Step Four:Plan to Review [05:31.18]This last step does not take place immediately after you read, [05:37.42]but it's very important for remembering what you read [05:43.56]and can mean the diffence between a C and an A on a test. [05:49.91]You should make a definite plan to review your reading notes every week. [05:56.94]As you move through a course,you have more and more to learn. [06:02.97]You can't remember it all.In fact, [06:08.33]unless we review every week what has been studied before. [06:14.49]we can forget over 80 percent of what we read . [06:19.82]So plan to review once a week. [06:24.76]Go over your notes.If they don't make sense when you review, [06:32.10]go back to the chapter and reread what isn't clear. [06:38.24](It's important to write chapter titles [06:42.49]and page references to key points in your notes [06:47.85]so you can find things quickly when you review. [06:53.00]Research shows it's not so much how long you study [06:58.85]that gets good grades, [07:02.30]but how well and how often you study. [07:07.05]Try this four-step method(PREP)and watch those grades go up.
