Highlighting does not cause you to process language in the same way as actually writing things down. Just make a list called important points from Chapter 6 or something.

2. Take breaks and look away from the page and try to respond to yourself, “What is the author’s main point?”

(besides seeing his name in print)

3. Don’t read late in the evening if you could read earlier in the day. Sometimes it is unavoidable. But if you make reading a low priority you will do it at odd times instead of best times. Imagine that you are paying yourself to “go to your reading job.” Because basically you probably are, considering what tuition costs these days.

Good luck!
