Better
reading
 Awareness
Don't
treat
all
the
books
you
read
as
the
same.
Check
what
type
of
book
you
are
reading.
You
may
need
to
skim-read
to
find
out
the
type
of
book.
Do
this
quickly,
then
adjust
your
reading
to
suit.
Adapt
The
way
you
read
should
be
adjusted
for
the
type
of
book.
Don't
start
reading
until
you
have
decided
if
the
book
is
suitable.
Don't
dwell
on
the
writing
if
you
are
searching
for
'facts'.
If
necessary,
switch
your
style
of
reading
to
suit
the
task.
Purpose
Decide
the
reason
for
looking
at
the
book
before
you
begin.
Remind
yourself
of
the
reason
whilst
you
are
reading.
Concentrate -
and
take notes.
Selection
Choose
your
reading
material
carefully.
Choose
the
type
of
book
which
will
be
most
useful.
When
starting
a
new
subject,
read
beginner's
books.
A
quick
review
of
the
main
points
will
help
you
understand
the
subject.
Switching
Switch
from
one
style
of
reading
to
another
when
necessary.
This
is
very
useful
when
choosing
books
or
doing
research.
This
skill
is
probably
the
next
most
useful
after
close
reading.
It
shows
that
you
understand
what
you
are
doing. |
