It is also helpful for the student to eat or have a snack before they start reading. This will cut down on distractions and they will be able to focus on the reading they have to do. I find that taking notes as I read helps me to retain what I read.
One, maybe the most important, goal to achieve is to be a good reader: reading implies taking a book not only as a bunch of paper, full of letters, but as a friend, enjoying it from the beginning to the end with no obligations behind; associating ‘’reading’’ with terms like duty or discomfort only reflects the lack of this skill as a weakness, since students are required to read big loads of material for their classes. Writing is another point that Sullivan mentions, it is important as a student –and I’m very sure that in life too- to have the idea that you can always improve your writing and don’t, like many do, think of yourself as an efficient writer just because you know how to appropriate put words with some sense on a sheet of paper, because is not the denotative part we are looking for instead the reader needs to think and dream while reading, and also be illustrated by the writing skills of an author- folks do not read Shakespeare or Wilde because of their “typical sense of words”, they read these authors to feel alive themselves and to learn-. Writing requires dedication, effort, and sometimes enthusiasm, doing critical reviews and research can really boost your writing skills.

We may be storing less information in our brains as Bauerlein pointed out in his article but that is all because we have gotten used to the idea of having access to almost any answer at any location. Just think about the jobs we are going to be able to do in the future if we can use our brains for exclusively for thinking because memory would be stored somewhere else.
