How to read a textbook faster without skimming blindly

Speed comes from matching attention to purpose. Preview what matters, slow down for difficult ideas, and skip repetition only when you can already explain it.

A simple way to try it

  1. Use headings and objectives to set a question.
  2. Read examples that clarify a difficult point.
  3. Check understanding with a recall question before moving on.
