One of the keys to improving our reading comprehension when you study is EPLER method, which helps you understand much better or that you are reading the first time.
We are going to tell you the 5 steps of which this method is composed
1) E: EXPLORATION OR PRELECT
2) Q: QUESTIONS
3) L: READING
4) E: EXPOSURE
5) R: REVIEW AND REPETITION
Before you start reading, you must do a prior recognition, so that when reading you know how to recognize the details step by step because we already have the "Joint vision and we know what comes next."
Among the main problems of overloading the mind is that of overloading the reading with details. The more things you have to take in, the less you can focus on what really matters.
Pre-reading It is important, since it is the one that gives you the idea of what you are going to read and in the second reading you can focus on the details.
We can say that when we pre-read, we are making an acknowledgment of what we are going to read and we save time, because we do not have to go back to what we have already read, mainly because we will read again.
If you don't do a pre-reading, you may miss out on many ideas that the writer of the study book wanted to clarify. Surely it sounds familiar to you the moment in which you have read three pages but you realize that you do not know what it said because you have activated the automatic.
It is incredible how many people forget stop at the many indications that the author, the editors and the publisher put in the book to facilitate the reading journey, to indicate the intentions and the different directions and uses of the text. In general, the inexperienced reader throws himself fully into reading like the novice driver who, being afraid of traffic, panics and does not see the signs, does not stop at STOP, but continues on, pushed by the flowing from cars and not knowing exactly where you are going. For any mountain excursion you would rely on a map to study the shortest or most interesting trails that will take you to your destination. Why not do the same before facing that unknown land that is a new book?
Of course, have a few updated exam syllabi it is vital to apply the EPLER method with guarantees.
