How to read books easily, and how to read books most effectively

1. Reading method: Before reading, you should clarify the purpose, which can better guide you to carry it out. What is the most effective way to read a book?

I personally believe that we should read books as quickly as possible, and "monetize" the knowledge and ideas summarized by others as much as possible - for our own use, rather than rote memorization.

2. Reading method: find the action goal in the reading content, and put the knowledge you read into practical action. However, it is also important to be careful not to set goals that are detached from one's own reality, but to be specific to the "what, when, and how much" to be expressed in numbers.

If the gap between the goal and the reality is too large, there is no way to achieve it smoothly, and it becomes a tormenting thing.

3. Reading method: get rid of silent reading in the process of reading, look back at bad habits, practice increasing the breadth of recognition in ordinary times (forget word-by-word pronunciation, read a group of meaningful words instead of a single word), increase vocabulary (you can establish a vocabulary list, and collect words that are not common when you usually read books or newspapers.)

4. Reading method: Reading should be used as a starting point, not an end. Any book is just a carrier, and what a good book carries is a person's decades of experience in a specific field, or a team's decades of extensive experimental verification in a field.

If you just read it and it's over, there's nothing that doesn't work!

5. Reading method: classification. When reading a book, put the information of the book in the knowledge structure that you have established.

The core issue of reading is to grasp the central idea and structure, the main ideas and arguments, whether the reasoning process is rigorous, and whether it can be used for oneself. For useful books, read them simply and violently and purposefully when you re-read them! Rough point:

Truncated summary summary!

6.How to read: For books on humanities and social sciences, you can also choose to read the places you are interested in.

I suggest that you read books on the following principles: don't force yourself to read any so-called useful books, reading is first and foremost a hobby, and you should make yourself feel happy, but try to choose good books that are recognized as good.

Bacon said, "Knowledge is power." "How can we continue to absorb the power of knowledge?

The answer is to read more books and read good books, because "history makes people wise; Poetry makes man witty; Mathematics makes people sophisticated; Philosophy is profound; Morality makes people right; Logic and rhetoric make people eloquent". Below, the author will talk about his own views on how to read:

Reading should be carefully considered. Yuan Mei once said in "The Law of Reading and Writing" that teaching people to read is not only to "break their volumes", but also to "take their gods". What is "breaking the scroll and taking the gods"?

He said that silkworms eat mulberry leaves and spin silk, bees pick flowers to make honey, and people eat and grow spirits, which is called "taking gods". If you can't digest it if you can't digest it, no matter how much you read, what's the use? Xunzi also said:

Recite the number consistently, think through it. Dong Yu famously said during the Three Kingdoms: "Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will be seen by itself."

Su Shi, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, believed: "Therefore, the book is not tired of reading a hundred times, and it is easy to read and think freely." In a word, it is important to be well-read, but the key is whether you can carefully figure it out and "digest and absorb".

Reading should be done in order to apply what you have learned. The ancients once used the phrase "useless scholars" to describe people who "read dead books, dead books". Some people can't say that they haven't read a lot of books in the past ten years, but why do they become "nerds"?

Because "the paper is shallow, and I never know that I have to bow to it". Zhang Chao once said, "Reading as a teenager is like peeking at the moon in a gap; Middle-aged reading, such as looking at the moon in the court; Reading for the elderly, such as playing with the moon on stage. All with the shallow depth of experience, for the shallow and deep ears obtained".

This also confirms the truth that "practice is the only criterion for testing truth" and that "practice produces true knowledge."

He also said, "If you can read a book without words, you can get amazing wonderful sentences." This kind of "wordless book", according to our popular saying today, is to read the big book of society, life, and nature - those who are good at reading books have nothing but books: mountains and rivers are also books, chess and wine are also books, and flowers and moons are also books.

For the feeling of reading, it can really be said that the benevolent is benevolent, and the wise see the wise. I hope that all of us can read more, read good books, continue to accumulate the "power of knowledge", create wealth with knowledge, and change life with wisdom!

Reading is more effective in this way: ask questions, preview, read quickly, focus on the point, review.

1.Questions. Why should I read this book, have I read a similar book, etc., ask at least three questions.

2.Preview. Read the front cover, back cover, preface, and afterword to understand the structure of the book, whether it is worth reading, whether it is helpful, sketch out the chapters that interest you, and correct the questions raised.

3.Speed reading. Read the whole book quickly, making some markups as you go. I usually read the whole book, or some chapters, at a speed of two to three thousand words per minute, so as to build the context and knowledge structure of the book. During this time, I will find the things in the book that interest me, what is important to me, or something that I don't understand, and then quickly mark these contents.

4.Cut to the point.

Through nine-square grid notes, RIA sticky notes, concept cards, etc., the core concepts in this book are clarified.

Take the nine-square grid notes as an example, it is a method to express the focus of the whole book through a piece of paper, specifically: divide a piece of paper into the title, question area, concept area, wonderful area (aha), to-do area and other areas, disassemble the book in a structured way, answer questions by mastering basic and important concepts, and combine it with your own experience to clarify what you need to do next.

5.Review. This is simple, but it should not be ignored, because it is inevitable to forget, so it should be reviewed and consolidated from time to time.

Be familiar with reading, read a lot, and take good reading notes.

Whether it's a book or a school.

Here's how to read a book more effectively:

Skimming. When reading a ** or an elective article in a text, you don't need to chew the bold words, you only need to read it roughly once, and understand what the content or story of the article is about, mainly to cultivate language sense and reading ability. The skimming method is suitable for articles that are not too important.

Intensive reading. Mainly applicable to those subjects to be tested in the exam, even if these texts will not be reproduced in the exam, they also need to be read intensively and carefully studyed, because in the process of intensive reading, you can master a lot of useful knowledge points, learn a lot of practical tips for analyzing sentences and the structure of the text, and learn one article to be able to draw inferences, so you must study hard, especially for Chinese subjects.

Take notes. When reading, you can organize your notes while reading and write down your reading experience, so that you can improve your language literacy and develop a good reading habit.

Making reading notes is a good way, every time you read it, you will have a new understanding and insight, and the mood of reading at that time is also different, and when you look back at the book, you will feel a lot. Read the synopsis and then read the book.

Sometimes reading, it is difficult for us to understand what story is told or what we want to express when we read it for the first time, if we can read it before reading** introduction, know the relationship between the characters, and then read it very smoothly, there will not be too many obstacles, and we can better understand the author's point of view, but there is also a drawback, that is, it is easy to be swayed by the views that are seen, and lack of their own opinions.

Recitation. For some short articles, or articles that require memorization, you can read them over and over again, and finally achieve the purpose of memorization, which is the so-called recitation method.

The ancients often said that reading a book a hundred times is true, but we can't blindly rely on reading to understand the connotation of the work, the most important thing is to take the initiative to think, to understand the meaning of each key word and each word, in order to help us understand the main idea of the article. In addition, knowing more about the author's background at the time is also beneficial for understanding the text.
