This book shows you how to fully grasp and understand the texts and other assignments you read — whatever the subject. And how to remember more of what you’ve read. Packed with guidance, tips and tricks to improve your reading and comprehension skills, this book shows you:

• How to tailor your reading method to your reading purpose: quick-reference reading, critical reading, reading for pleasure or aesthetic reading

• How to spot the main idea by dissecting your reading assignment

• How to grasp the essential facts: skim, scan, read, remember

• Tricks to tackle technical texts: definitions and terms, examples, classifications and listing, cause-effect relationships

• How to become a critical reader: pre-reading, analyzing, summarizing

• How to focus your mind: techniques for concentration and motivation

• How to secure your comprehension: retaining what you read.

This is a practical, tested guide, for students who want to improve their comprehension skills and never forget what they study. Once you have read this book, you will never have to go over the same material again in your school, college, or competitive exams.
