Longer texts are going to require me to discern what's import versus the minute details that I don't need. Hopefully that will be a good start at still comprehending, but more efficiently. https://nowcomment.com/documents/276337?scroll_to=2484718 https://nowcomment.com/documents/276337?scroll_to=2484718 Wed, 09 Jun 2021 20:45:31 -0400 In order to make this easier for me to read, I would circle complex words and replace them with simpler words that make the same meaning. Then, I would re-read my "new" sentences to get gain clarity on the text's meaning. https://nowcomment.com/documents/276337?scroll_to=2484688 https://nowcomment.com/documents/276337?scroll_to=2484688 I would also make use of the annotation features to highlight, make connections, determine important ideas, and ask questions as I read. Engaging with the text in this way will help me to retain information and easily refer back to notes I've made. If I came across a phrase or sentence that I could not comprehend, I would likely underline it so that I could keep reading and refer back to it later. That way I could try to use the surrounding text to make meaning of it. Thu, 10 Jun 2021 18:56:03 -0400
