I would rank the strategies as follow: 1) Read out Loud 2) Copy
and delete and 3) Use a timer. Reading out loud helped me understand more the
content as I read instead of just reading silently and skipping some sentences
or words. This helped increase my focus and I was more efficient while reading.
Using a timer also helped a lot since I dedicated a certain amount of time to
focus on a specific reading and that helped as I put more effort in that
allocated time. But I also find some difficulty with the fact that when I read
silently I tend to get bored easily and drift away from reading. Copy and
delete was more helpful than using a timer since it helped in focusing on
figuring out important takeaways from the readings. I feel that is very helpful
because I always ask myself what are the points to take away from a reading, so
this technique helps by saving time of going back and forth to figure that out.
I have not practiced using these techniques previously but I think I will give
each one a try and see on the long run which one works best for me.
