1 Take notes. It is possible to read a textbook for fun, but the practice is not very
common. Most people read a textbook
because they need to get information, and
textbooks are an excellent source of
concentrated, clearly-organized information
on many topics. To get the most from reading your textbook, have a notepad open
beside you while you read. Set a pattern. Read one paragraph at a
time, then stop and make a note about
what that paragraph said. Try to put it into
one or two quick phrases or sentences. Review your results. At the end of your
session, you'll have a personal copy of all
the information you need. Read over it to
ensure that everything makes sense to
you.

2 Read by chapter. In most cases, it isn't necessary to read a textbook straight
through from start to finish, but it isn't very
useful to jump from section to section,
either. Instead, every time you have to read
even part of a chapter, plan to read that entire chapter. Understand more of what you read. Reading the whole chapter in order once
will put all the information you need into a solid context, making it easier to
understand and easier to remember. Take a victory lap. There's no need to read back through the whole chapter once you've done it the first time. You can cherry-pick from the chapter as needed afterward.
3 Keep up. If you're reading a textbook, it's probably for a class you're trying to pass.
So the best way to tackle them is to start early and try to make steady progress every time you open one up. Make it a date. Schedule regular space at least a few days a week to read your textbook, and it'll go by much more easily
than if you tried to cram it all in right
before each test.

Read when you are in the right mood. If you
are distracted, angry, or too worried to
concentrate, you won't get much out of what you read, and probably won't remember any of it the next day either.

Don't forget to keep track of library due
dates. Return or renew your library books by the due date to avoid late fees. (Find your favorite author, and always checkout his or
her books first!)
