First, you should PREPARE to read by skimming. Second, you should READ only short passages or pages with questions in mind. Third, you should write down the major points on what you have read or try to recite the key points to yourself. Fourth, you should make a plan to review your reading notes every week to avoid forgetting them. This is call the PREP method.
