So, choose a quiet place, set a time limit, and approach your assignment as something that must be done. How to Read Faster and Retain More Forget trying to read material an entire line at a time. This approach only results in partial inaccurate reading. Before you begin another assignment, be it another chapter or work for another class, quickly review the material you have covered. Many studies show that a brief review after you have finished is much more efficient then spending the same amount of time reviewing the material later.
Immediate review is very important.
Underlining Underlining is generally a waste of time. Most students underline so much that the process is counterproductive. The best way to underline is to do so sparingly. Never underline an entire sentence. In fact, wait until you have read all the material before you begin to underline.
