concept of reading

reading goals

Reading for information and reading for understanding

the art of reading

Use your mind to improve yourself, from superficial knowledge to deep understanding

The author is "higher" than the reader and uses a readable form to convey insights that he has but that the reader does not have.

Clear communication is accomplished when the person reading is on par with the author.

Purpose of this book

Written to enhance understanding

Two ways to learn

Self-discovery learning style

guided learning style

level of reading

Basic reading

The four stages of children's reading

Reading preparation stage: good vision and hearing; minimum cognitive skills; clear articulation; ability to learn with other children, maintain attention, obedience, etc.

The child will learn to read some simple reading materials: he will know 300 to 400 words

Quickly build vocabulary skills: learn reading methods for different goals and fields, such as science, sociology, language arts, etc.

Refining and improving previously learned skills: converting ideas from one book to another, comparing ideas put forward by different authors on the same topic

view reading

Only when you examine reading can you truly enter the level of reading. Application scenario: Not sure if you want to read this book and have limited time. Two methods: systematic skimming or rough reading and superficial speed reading.

skim

Read the title page first, then read the preface in order

Pay special attention to the subtitle, or other relevant description or purpose, or the author's special perspective in writing the book.

Research catalog page

Have a general understanding of the basic structure of this book

Review index

Quickly assess the scope of the topics covered in this book

Read the publisher’s introduction

Choose some chapters to read that are related to the topic

Then, flip through it and read one or two paragraphs, sometimes several pages in a row, but not too many

Read the postscript and the last two or three pages

The last two or three pages of a book cannot be ignored. The author will reorganize the ideas he considers new and important.

superficial speed reading

reading speed

Speed reading courses require different reading speeds, not just speed.

Correction of lingering and regression: guide the eyes with your hands

Speed reading will focus your attention, but it won’t enhance your understanding

Simple speed reading method

Read it from beginning to end

Skip what you don’t understand first

Concentrate on the parts you can understand

Four basic questions about reading

What is this book about? How to develop this theme in sequence and how to decompose the core theme into subordinate key issues

What did the author say in detail and how did he say it? Find the main ideas, statements and arguments

Does this book make sense? Does it all make sense, or only part of it?

What does this book have to do with you?

Three ways to take notes

Structure Notes

The focus of the notes is the structure of the book

What kind of book is this

What is the whole book talking about?

What structure does the author use to describe his views and understanding?

concept notes

The focus of notes is to grasp some of the author’s thoughts on the topic

Dialectical Notes

Notes on thematic reading, notes on a discussion situation involving many authors.

Analytical reading

Analytical reading is the special pursuit of understanding until the reader reads the book as his own.

The first stage: what is the content about and how to outline the structure

1. Classify according to types and themes

fictional novels

Explanatory type of argumentation (transmitting knowledge)

Practical works

Teach you how to do what you want to do (OK)

theoretical works

Teach you what this is (know)

history

science

philosophy

etc.

2. Use one paragraph to describe the content of the entire book.

Describe the main idea of the entire book

Emphasize the integrity of a book

3. List important chapters and outline them

We must not only see how it appears as one, but also understand how it appears as multiple.

Emphasize the complexity of a book

4. Determine the problem the author wants to solve

Answer the first question: What is this book about?

Stage Two: Interpret the Content Rules of a Book

5. Find important words and reach a consensus with the author

Find important words (language)

Confirm the most precise meaning (connotation) of important words when they are used

6. Find the main idea from the most important sentences

say it in your own words

7. Structure the basic discussion of a book

Remember that all discourse contains some statement

To distinguish the difference between the two statements

Induction: using one or more specific facts to prove a common concept

Deductive method: using a series of general principles to prove further common concepts

8. Find out the author’s answers: solved, unsolved, unsolvable

Answer the second question: What are the details? How is it manifested?

The third stage: commenting on the rules of a book as if communicating knowledge

9. Be sure to fully understand before commenting.

10. When you disagree with the author’s point of view, express it rationally and do not argue rudely.

11. Distinguish between knowledge and personal opinions, and find out the theoretical basis before commenting.

Special criteria for critical opinions

12. Your knowledge is insufficient

13. Your knowledge is wrong

14. You are illogical – your reasoning is unconvincing

15. Your analysis is not complete enough

Answer the third and fourth questions: Is this true? has no meaning?

Topic reading

The preparation stage for topic reading

More than two books need to be read on the same topic

Need to know which books to read

Inspective reading is a necessary screening method

Review all books on the book list (have a clear concept; simplify the book list)

Speed Reading

Is the content of this book important to the topic?

Five Steps to Topic Reading

Find relevant chapters

In thematic reading, the topic is the focus, not the book you read.

Lead the author to reach a consensus with you

Build a vocabulary that first helps us understand all the authors

Secondly help us solve our problems

Clarify the problem

Establish a neutral theme and list a series of questions

Let the authors answer these questions

The first question usually concerns the existence or properties of the concept or phenomenon we are studying.

How this phenomenon was discovered, or how this concept was manifested

Relevant to the impact of answering the previous question

Define the issue

When different authors have considerable knowledge of the same issue but give completely opposite or contradictory answers, this is a truly engaging issue.

We need to find out how different opinions are related to each other, and then classify them according to the author’s point of view

Analysis and discussion

Ask questions in a specific order

To be able to identify why it is in this order

Different answers to these questions must be stated and why

Precautions

Remain objective and allow both pros and cons to coexist

Topic reading should cover all aspects without presupposing one’s own position

Keen observation, sensitive and reliable memory, space for imagination, well-trained analysis and reflection abilities
