A book took others several times as long to finish;

I don't know what I'm talking about after reading it, and I have no overall thinking structure;

After reading a lot of books, I still feel that I have not gained much;

When discussing ideas in a book with others, I don't have my own opinions;

When sharing a book or one of its viewpoints and contents with others, I don't know what to say or what to say is a mess;

In the face of the views in the book, I am always led by the author's ideas, and what the author says is what it is;

Wait a minute.

Second, what kind of ability is reading ability?

Reading ability is essentially: the ability of eyes to recognize and absorb information and the ability of brain to process information.

1, the eye's ability to recognize and absorb information is the ability to "see" in reading. See who won't? But in fact, many people just don't understand. For example: ① I can actually read 2000 words a minute, while you can only read one or two hundred words. Do you dare say that you can read them? (2) Read the same article, the answer is directly explained in the article, but after reading it, you are still asking what the answer is (I believe many people who write articles often encounter this situation in the comment area).

2. The brain processes information. In reading, it is the ability to "integrate the existing information in the text and combine your existing knowledge to understand, analyze and appreciate what you read". There are two factors that affect the brain's ability to process information in reading: thinking and knowledge (including experience). If you think without knowledge, you will understand shallowly; Knowledge without thinking will lead to slower understanding.

Third, what should be done to improve reading ability?

1, eye recognition and information absorption.

When reading, we tend to slow down unconsciously, and then our eyes can't absorb words well. When reading, readers don't know what they are reading, and their brains are blank. So when reading, you should consciously control your reading speed, fast is fast, slow is slow.

1) To improve the reading speed, we first think of skipping and skimming, but this reading method often leads us to ignore too many details, thus making some key contents missing. For example, many people tend to prefer reading titles and sentences before and after paragraphs, and skip the middle content. This reading method is good for understanding what to say, but it is very unfavorable for understanding the content and training their thinking. Just like "everyone understands the truth, but why, how to embody it, what's the use, and how to use it?" Therefore, in general, there are more skipping and skimming, which are mainly suitable for reading online novels.

2) scanning. The scanning reading mentioned here is a reading method that scans the text line by line at a faster speed than the traditional reading method, but omits more words (if you are easy to read serials or lose concentration when reading, you can use a thinner pen to move quickly under the text to guide your eyes to read). Scanning is a focused reading method. When scanning, it only stays on the key sentences, and generally the secondary and auxiliary ones are simply repeated.

The key to scanning is whether you can quickly distinguish what is important. Here are some suggestions for you: ① When you read something "new, helpful, impressive and different from your own thinking", these things are all useful to you, and they can be your "line drawing" objects. ② Distinguish according to your reading purpose and needs. (3) When you read something you don't understand (generally, don't memorize it, just mark it, maybe you will be suddenly enlightened after reading it) (4) When you read a sentence or an example, you have your own opinions or associations (you might as well stop and make a record, because inspiration is fleeting).

3) Read phrases, short sentences or meaning groups. Phrases and short sentences are easy to understand, and meaning groups are several meaningful phrases divided into a slightly longer sentence. For example, when reading a long sentence, you need to pause somewhere in the middle, otherwise it will easily lead to misunderstanding, and this pause is preceded by a meaning group.

In reading, it is a waste of time to read a word, so you should practice it deliberately when reading: you can see a phrase, short sentence or meaning group at a glance. In fact, you may have done this to some extent (most people read articles with simple words and three or four words together), but it is still relatively basic.

4) read quickly. Speed reading is a reading based on "visual range" and "perception", that is to say, speed reading is not a way to read one word at a time, but a way to read "five, ten" or even more words at a time, and quickly move the focus to the next word. Speed reading training is a way of reading and absorbing information that "the eyes see quickly and the brain processes quickly".

General training methods and steps (take elite speed reading memory training software as an example): ① Open our video: The bigger the video, the more information we can capture at a glance. ② Improve the moving speed of our focus: that is, train our eyes to move quickly from one eye to the next, and at the same time, perceive information quickly and accurately in the rapid movement. ③ Training to improve our perception: This mainly refers to training our eyes to see and recognize information quickly. Fast reading, especially high-level fast reading (multi-line reading, single-page reading), requires a strong overall perception. (4) The training to improve the ability of the eyes to absorb information and the brain to process information (that is, to understand quickly) in fast reading is actually to train the coordination ability of the eyes and the brain. ⑤ In addition, it also includes training to overcome the habit of audio reading and silent reading.

In reading, the brain processes information.

When we read an article or a book, we rely on the thinking ability and knowledge in the brain. Most of us have similar thinking ability and knowledge at first, but with the study the day after tomorrow, the gap begins to come out. Because the process of learning is not only the process of accumulating knowledge, but also the process of exercising the brain, which is the meaning of learning.

Naturally, the earlier you learn, the better. We have no ability to turn back the clock, but we have the ability to change from now on.

1) Learn to focus and integrate content.

About a book, which are the key points, the above briefly lists a few. In the process of reading, you should leave marks and comments to facilitate your key reading and understanding after reading (simply reading it once will not gain much, so you need to look back and focus on thinking and remembering).

If you want to keep more knowledge points in your mind, you must learn to integrate scattered knowledge points. General suggestion: organize books in the form of knowledge frame or mind map, mainly to extract the important contents of books, including some understandings and feelings in the reading process. This integration is not for display, but for the convenience of "frequent" browsing in the future (remember to add new knowledge when reviewing).

2) Learn to choose reading. For some books, we don't need to study from beginning to end as a whole. We only need to read and study the corresponding parts according to the current needs, and it is not too late to improve other parts or the whole book when necessary or when we have time and energy. Books such as tools and instructions are like digging diamonds. As long as diamonds are dug, other sandstone is not important.

3) What should I do if I don't understand?

If you can only understand a small amount of content in reading, don't struggle too much (struggling or stuttering will only waste time), just make a mark and continue reading. After reading this chapter or the whole book, look back and see if you understand it. If you still don't understand, you may have missed some key points in the reading process, or given the answers in other books of the author. Of course, after reading something, the most direct way to understand it is to search online or ask someone who knows the ropes.

If you don't know much knowledge, you need to consider the concept of changing a book, changing a book or elementary reading at this time. Carry out graded reading and topic reading, and improve your understanding ability first.

4) Learn to analyze and develop the habit of thinking from multiple angles. When we face a problem, we often subconsciously think from the knowledge you are most familiar with or the knowledge guided by others (such as the author's words), which often leads to the limitation of understanding. For example, when evaluating Li Hongzhang, many people will subjectively think that he is a traitor, but when you get to know him from the aspects of Qing government, background, diplomacy, personal ability and limitations, you will find that it is different.

5) read more books. The fundamental way to improve reading comprehension is to read more books. In the process of reading a lot, you will always find the reading method that suits you best. And the more you read, the more you understand, and the more you understand, you will come back to promote your more effective reading. This is a virtuous circle.
