HOW TO READ AND ASSIMILATE BETTER AND FASTER: 8 TIPS 

 

 

STUDY IN A QUIET TERRAIN OR ENVIRONMENT 

 

One important factor determining how well we assimilate and understand written words is the terrain where we studied. To assimilate better, make it a habit to study in a quiet terrain or environment devoid of noise and distractions. To further avoid distractions, you could switch off your phone or silence it and turn off the internet connection to stay down from social media. Studying in a quiet terrain increases your attention and helps you assimilate the material you study. 

 

 EAT A GOOD DIET AND NOT JUNKS 

 

The role diet plays in assimilation cannot be overemphasized. Eating good foods and not junk helps us assimilate better. According to scholars, a diet that is high in sugars, fats as well as reused or processed foods in the early stage of life affect assimilation rate still, a diet that contains vitamins and nutrients may increase IQ, eating eggs, healthy snacks, good fats similar to avocados, fatty fish like sardines, Titus and dark chocolate if you're a chocoholic. This helps you assimilate rather than eat junk. 

 

CHECK THROUGH THE READING MATERIALS FOR KEYWORDS BEFORE STUDYING

 

 Before you begin reading or studying material, check through the textbook or your class note for keywords. Keywords are words that appear in a textbook or written class notes constantly. Scanning for keywords would help you understand the material or your class note when you begin reading it duly. In the case where you don’t understand the keywords clearly on the information handed in the book, make use of the wordbook, dictionary, or the internet to check its meaning. Understanding keywords help you to digest the material and retain the information since you're familiar with the essential words in the book.

 

EDUCATE YOURSELF BY READING THE MATERIAL ALOUD

 

 For some people reading material out, help them calm down and pay attention to each word in the textbook. this is particularly a day system that is used in an undergraduate and high school when one is bored and is yet to complete reading a particular material or note Reading out the textbook makes it engaging. Also, it educates you when standing in front of the class teaching your mate, or reading to yourself being alone in your room. 

 

TAKE NOTES OR MAKE A NEW NOTE WHILE STUDYING

 

 When studying without a pen you may not assimilate well. Who studies without a pen? that isn't how to read. While studying, you need to have a pen to punctuate and jot important points down. Also, you can make short notes in the process. In the case where you can not write on the material, get a tablet and write the interpretation of the material in your understanding without leaving important points of the writer behind.  While interpreting the material, begin by asking a question and also answering it. This system helps you get acquainted with the material and pass your test or exam is made easy.

 

USE THE REPETITION LITERACY SYSTEM TO   ASSIMILATE

 

 You don’t need to study all the material at once. All you need do is to read the material over and over again to understand and assimilate it bit by bit. Don’t try to study a 500 runners’ textbook or note in 5 days studying 100 runners a day. That isn't how to read. you would only retain 50% of the material after studying. Rather, have a schedule and study the material in bits. Don’t wait until you have a test or an examination to write before you start studying, start reading and studying the first week of school resumption. After studying the material, you could go over it again using other tips explained above until you're confident that you know and understand the material. 


TAKE BREAKS IN BETWEEN STUDYING

 

 Try to break your studying into shorter stages and make sure you take breaks in between. You could borrow the50/10 strategy by studying for 50 twinkles and taking a 10 twinkles break. This way you would be suitable to absorb what you are studying very well. 

 

STUDY IN A GROUP AND EDUCATE OTHERS ON WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED
