How to look at a page
We were taught to read word by word, so we start at the furthermost left word of a book and read to the furthermost right word. However, the problem with that is that the margins don’t have any words.
- Remedy this by drawing lines going down on either side of the page. But draw it one word in on both sides.
- Instead of looking at the first word all the way to the left, start at the line you drew on the left and then end at the line at the right. You should not have trouble reading and still have full comprehension.
- Do this for 5 - 10 pages, then indent by another word on either side.
