Why is this happening? The high score reading method gives the answer: if you can't sum up a book in one sentence, it proves that you don't understand the book at all. Reading is different from reading. Reading, just browsing, is limited to entertainment and killing time. Reading is to read and understand a book thoroughly, with the purpose of transforming the contents of the book into personal knowledge, integrating it with the original knowledge, and then applying it to life and work. Think back, are you reading or reading?
So, did you suddenly realize? Although I read so many books, I can't "read" at all. If you want to read a book, the most important thing is to master the correct reading method.
For example, Kazuo Nishiooka of the University of Tokyo is a typical case. He has not got good grades since he was a child. In high school, he studied in an ordinary high school and was still a poor student. Before being admitted to the University of Tokyo, both college entrance examinations failed at the bottom. After studying in the third year of senior high school for the second time, he changed his way of reading and made great achievements, and was admitted to the coveted "magic" University of Tokyo.
After entering the university, he found that there is a rare similarity between East University students-active reading. They will not passively accept the contents of the book, but actively explore and verify the contents of the book and dialectically absorb the author's thoughts. This reading method coincides with the author's reading method of college entrance examination. In his junior year, he wrote this set of efficient reading methods into a book-high score reading method.
High score reading method includes 1 1 reading method, which helps us to improve our reading comprehension. Next, let's take a look at how these reading methods play a role in reading, helping us really understand a book and make knowledge work for us.
Before reading 0 1, use the binding reading method to get an overview of the book.
"Binding and reading method" refers to reading the information of "front cover, waist cover and back cover". They include book title, author information, book essence, recommendation and so on.
When reading, many people hardly pay attention to the contents of the front cover, waist cover and back cover, but just turn to the text and start reading. This is very similar to an exam. When you encounter a problem that you can't do, you can only admit that you are unlucky.
Author Nishioka Yoshioka said: "If you don't understand this book, 90% of the books are not ready." Spending a little time looking for clues before reading can greatly reduce the difficulty of reading. "Binding reading method" is specially designed to help us solve the clue problem. Binding refers to the front cover, waist seal and back cover. This information is pitiful, but it is the essence of this book. Missed it. It's like missing 100 million.
Through the binding part, we can understand: What information does this book tell? What knowledge can we get from it? What problem can this book solve? What about the author's writing background and other works? What are your expectations for this book? What is your reading goal?
Binding reading is an essential step before reading. After understanding the general situation of the book, you should record your reading goals and have a deep "dialogue" with the book with your own questions to test whether your thinking is accurate. In order to further understand the author's ideas, we must learn to grasp the key points.
In reading, use abstract reading to find out the key points in the book.
Grasping the key point is to find the author's core point of view in the process of reading and clarify the context of the article.
How to get the key information of a book? The High Score Reading Method recommended the Abstract Reading Method. When reading, first find out the general sentences of the chapter, then repeat them in your own words and take notes. The number of words should be less than 30 words. Then summarize the central idea of the book according to the chapter points recorded by yourself, and the word limit is 140 words. The focus and context of such a book are sorted out.
Maybe someone will ask, "What if I can't find the summary sentence?" In fact, people who write books have long considered this problem, so they usually focus on the first place, and we can easily find key information near the beginning, end and turning point of a paragraph.
Through a simple summary, we sorted out the key points of the book and understood the author's core ideas. Next, we can output our own understanding and ideas through discussion reading and put the contents of the book into our own knowledge system.
After reading, output the transformed knowledge by discussing the reading method.
What is argumentative reading? Think back to the scene where everyone is gossiping. This is a typical discussion scene. Discussing the reading method is to share your thoughts, judgments, feelings and gains on the basis of discussion.
Dr. Schenk arens said: "Writing is the best catalyst for us to think, read, learn and understand." Output is the simplest way to "check whether you understand" and the best way to "turn information into knowledge". Therefore, after reading, you must output your understanding and feelings through writing.
If you don't write down your feelings and thoughts, it's like listening to a long personal speech. At present, you are full of passion, and then you are blank. What I can't remember is a bunch of useless information, which goes in one ear and out the other; The information that can't be used is the knowledge of others, which has nothing to do with you.
So, how do we output the feeling of reading? The "discussion reading method" in the "high score reading method" gives three suggestions:
1, talk to the book and "answer" in time.
The "correct answer" means that when we first started reading, we recorded our views on a book, and then checked whether our assumptions were correct while reading, and corrected them in time, so as to understand the views in the book more deeply and accurately.
2. Output a "summary" with comments.
We are required to fully understand the author's core ideas, add our own thinking and summary, and express the contents of the book concisely.
Express your feelings in your own words.
Writing about feelings means "discussing with the author". Express your views clearly (whether you agree or not), otherwise it is not called feelings. "Information" is different from "knowledge". If you don't draw your own conclusions, reading is just browsing information; Only when you take the initiative to draw a conclusion can you turn the information in the book into your own knowledge.
Expressing in your own words is the process of decoding and transcoding information. Through this step, we can really turn what we read into our own knowledge and skills.
From reading input to writing output, it is the process of screening information, deepening understanding and flexible application. By discussing reading methods, we can test whether we really understand a book and whether we can integrate the understood knowledge with the original knowledge. After such reading training, new knowledge will be engraved in your mind and can be called by you at any time.
Write it at the end
As the author Yoshioka Nishioka said, the key to reading is not how much we read, but whether we can use the knowledge in the book. Introduction to High Score Reading 1 1 Scientific and efficient reading methods, there is always a reading method suitable for you. Let's find the most suitable reading method for ourselves, truly understand a book, integrate theory with practice, and make knowledge truly become a weapon for our promotion.
