Reading difficult material
Reading difficult material can be a matter of concentration
or of simply organizing the challenge into steps:
Choose a moderate amount of material or a chapter to begin
Get a grasp of how the material is organized:
Scan the section for titles, headings, sub-headings, and topic sentences to get its general idea; pay attention to graphs, charts, and diagrams
If there is a summary at the end of a chapter, read it.
Check the beginning and the end for leading questions and exercises
Read first for what you do understand, and to determine difficulty.
Mark what you do not understand to review later
