Learning through Reading and Writing

The most obvious ways in which most of us read are through Reading and Writing. I also know how boring it feels reading the stuff, trying to mug up and write it kind of stuff. But did you ever feel that you could make your learning process much better through reading and writing too? Now let's learn how to make most out of reading and writing too.

The basic rule that needs to be kept in mind while reading and writing is that never do it for the heck of it. Even though you know this, keep this in your mind that reading with interest for an hour is much more better than slogging on the chair trying to read for 3hours. Now what should you do if you want to quit slogging? Each of you might be interested in doing something other than studies. Now what i advice you to do, is try doing something you like other than reading for about a span of 1hour. Once you are done with the most lovely thing(it could be playing Table tennis or watching a cartoon or anything) do not start reading immediately. Now take a small gap of 15mins or 30mins and relax. Relax i mean to stay calm and then slowly start thinking of the reading that you have got to do. Like this you slowly develop interest in what you want to study or read and finally start with your reading. Now this strategy might not work with everyone of you so be careful and try it for once and if it works, then you could deliver your best.

The other tips for reading and writing is that, when you are actually reading something, do keep it in mind that you need to take down notes for whatever you study or read. Now this way of maintaining a notes helps you in quick reviews and does not take an other light year to complete the amount of reading. One more thing that should be taken care of while writing a notes is that, we should not try to make an other textbook by writing almost everything we read. We should maintain a short notes and a very brief description about any given topic that we read. If we stuff our notes with all the text book info then we would not find it comfortable to give it a second reading and would go to the text again or might ignore the subject totally. So it is always good to maintain a good notes which we would like to see again and use it as reference.

The problem with us is, even though we know most of these points, we tend to ignore them and that's the reason why i am helping you recollect them. You could bookmark this site and use it as reference whenever you need and we would always be there to assist you with any kind of clarifications or suggestions.

Cheers,
