10 Best Ways For A Student To Read And Understand

Most students have been complaining that they fail these and that,even
to the extent that 47% was recorded for pass grade at the just
concluded G.C.E. WAEC,Our guidelines will help you to read and
understand.


Take your pen as you read, It goes thus :

1.Take Away all distractions:
Don't allow your brain and your body at large to be distracted bynp
Gf/BF,Food,family problems e.t.c. when reading,
One brain can't do more than one things perfectly at a time,your brain
is not a machine[even machines do rest] avoid over using it.

When you are reading,focus with one mind and avoid diversion.
Moreso,some students are also distracted by meaningless things like
games,social medias e.t.c. When reading,that shouldn't be, focus your
brain on what you are reading

2.Take A respite :
An adage says "All work and no play makes jack a dull boy". After
reading for like 45 to 60mins,take a respite and relax,don't over use
your memory by reading for 6hrs without stopping. USE YOUR Brain
wisely. When you relax for about 15mins,come back fresh and excited.

3.Summarize what you read:
Take a brief upshot of what you read,some books might be tedious that
you might not want to read again,take brief note of some keywords on
what you read and write them down,it really helps.

4. Read at the best time easy for you :
God created us in different ways but thesame patterns,Don't read when
you hate most like in the midnight when most people hate,don't
inconvinient yourself and know when you assimilate what you read most.
Like me now,it is in the MORNING. Discover yourself!

5.If possible,read in groups:
Sometimes,you may feel bored when you read alone,call your friends and
mates so that you can read together but don't misuse the opportunity
by playing and gisting for fun when you ought to be reading,you can
only gist when on respite

6.Use Dictionaries when reading :
Most of the times when you read,it is not advicable to use
dictionaries because it waste time and distracts attention but there
are some courses you need it e.g. GEOLOGY: Words like seismometer
e.t.c.

7.Ask yourself questions on what you read after reading :
An adage also says "Without an Exam/ TEST,No success,test yourself on
what you read by asking yourself question on it,just like revising.

8.Create the habit of reading at least twice a day :
At times,when you read a topic today and continue it tommorow,you may
still forget what you read,just read twice a day and there is every
possibility you may never forget what you read again

9.Don't be forced to read :
This is mostly applicable to secondary school students,why should they
force you to read? !
When they force you to read,you can't even understand what you read
and it also leads to creating some hatred habits towards the course
