Some experts recommend that you be sure to tell other people what you read. For example, an article on global warming, or an analytical review of the financial crisis. If you read such reviews, which are always somewhat difficult to understand, in order to retell the information received to someone else, everything you read will be remembered much better.
When reading in a whisper, you should not pronounce the words, or mentally pronounce what you are reading at the moment. All this significantly slows down the memorization of the text read, exacerbates the distraction of attention, and tires the nervous system and eyes. If you can't read this way, try clenching your teeth while reading and saying "one", "two", "three" and so on to yourself. As a training exercise, this exercise works very well. By the way, this advice is very often found in speed reading guides, and is one of the main ones;
Write down what you read. Most likely, you should not do this if you read fiction (only if you want to remember interesting quotes or aphorisms), it is already well remembered. But if we are talking about scientific, technical work, then you cannot do without notes. By writing down some particularly difficult moments, you can make it easier for yourself to "analyze the flight" of the author's thoughts, easily memorizing what in fact seemed very difficult;
The most important text for you is best read in the morning, when your brain works best, or in the afternoon, if you have a hard time waking up. You should not read before bedtime - such reading worsens memorization, plus you will not sleep very well afterwards. True, there are exceptions to the rule - some people think best in the evening or even at night, so use this advice based on your own feelings and understanding of the work of your biological clock.
Some of the books we read are very vivid in our memory, while others are forgotten very quickly. What's the matter? You probably discussed some of the works you read with someone, while others just read and did not discuss with anyone. The thing is that when discussing what has been read, information is remembered best of all, it is, as it were, "cemented". In some developed countries, reading lovers' clubs are very popular, where people discuss with each other all the books they have read, share their own opinions, and recommend reading what they liked the most. Members of such clubs memorize what they read very well, largely due to the joint work on a book or article.
Before reading the entire work, try to read the announcement or its criticism. We are no longer in school, so reading criticism is not something illegal, a taboo trick. In order to form your own opinion about what happens in the plot, you can read the opinion of literary critics. Of course, after preparing for reading the work and getting to know it directly, a person will remember what he has read for a long time.
To make reading comfortable, take a look around - is it possible to read in such an environment? After all, with a working TV, neighbors having fun behind the wall and noisy cars passing under the window, it will not be very convenient to read.
If you find a text difficult to read, it is better to choose a moment when it is more or less calm, sit comfortably, turn on the light, if necessary, and read with pleasure.
Also, experts advise to train peripheral vision, trying to cover as many words as possible with a glance. In this case, it will be possible to read from top to bottom, and not line by line. Of course, in this case, memory must also be trained. And yet - try not to return your gaze to the passed pieces of text, this worsens perception and complicates memorization of what you read.
