First of all, slow down. Force yourself to read more slowly, and at the end of a paragraph, if you don&#039;t understand it completely, inside, outside, upside down, then go back and read it again until you do. Sometimes that&#039;s all it takes.

There is another technique to help with comprehension, but I warn you that while tremendously effective, it is also tremendously boring when put into practice. Write an outline of each chapter of your book as you read it. Just keep a notebook and a pen handy, and as you finish a chapter, go back and outline it. Doing that takes discipline, but it will help a lot because you cannot do an outline if you don&#039;t understand the material--knowing you have to do an outline engages your mind and forces you to either understand completely or go back and re-read. It&#039;s the technique I used in college for most things--rewriting made stuff stick in my mind, and then I just went back and reviewed my fairly detailed outlines when test time rolled around. Trust me--it works really well.

But first, try slowing down.</description>
