Im trying to read the first chaper in my Cultural Geography book.... and i find that after ive read a few sentences, i totally forget what i read, or i cant pull the page together and make sense of what ive read. Unless i read it over and over, i dont remember it.....

What can i do to improve this? Its just so boring, and uninteresting to me.... if its something i want to be reading im fine.

 

take notes
write it down
type it

 

hee hee, omg. i do that too. i'll be reading some book/textbook for class and then after i get to the end of a chapter i'm like what was that all about and i can only remember like 1 small insignificant point out of the whole chapter if i'm lucky. i think it depends on your interest with the material. with other stuff, i can just glance at it and almost remember every important detail.

 

werd on take notes.

stop every section and do an outline of it.

 

what i have to do to understand a book is picture everything in my head as im reading...if i dont do that i'll forget everything i read.

 

joo have teh ADD...


jp.. it happens.. you prolly have other stuff on yer mind.. and while your eyes are reading, your mind is elsewhere.. do this... go get a drink, splash yere face with some cold water.. and work on focusing..

 

I used to have that problem...must have grown out of it. :dunno:
