Let\u2019s get into it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 1: Read out loud\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading out loud helps improve memory and understanding of complicated topics. When you read out loud, you\u2019re pairing written text (a visual) with your voice (an auditory source) and catching things you may have missed by just skimming and reading in your head. If your textbook is online and has a read-aloud feature, you can use that too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 2: Read the end of a chapter first<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most nursing textbooks have a summary and a set of challenge questions at the end of every chapter. While it may seem counterintuitive to read this first, it can provide you with a guide to follow as you read. Rather than focusing on every little detail, focus on these big-picture concepts as you go through the chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 3: Read in chunks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your nursing textbook is most likely long and dense! If you find it overwhelming to sit through an entire assigned reading\u2014don\u2019t. Break reading assignments up into chunks, and take a break if you find a section challenging. When you\u2019re ready, you can return to an assigned reading with a clear head and fresh eyes to re-read and grasp what you couldn\u2019t before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 4: Read it more than once<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you only read textbook material once, you\u2019re doing yourself a disservice! After your initial read, a forgetting curve begins, meaning you won\u2019t be able to effectively recall the material as time passes. Revisit and read the chapter or text again to maximize recall. If you don\u2019t have time to read all of it, try the next tip!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 5: Pair reading with another study method<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Re-reading the same material over and over again (more than 3 times) is not effective or stimulating for the brain! While reviewing your textbook is good, pair your reading with note-taking, flashcards, quizzes, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pricing\/nursing\">picture mnemonics<\/a> for a fun and exciting way to review and recognize nursing facts and concepts. Try these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pages\/active-recall-studying-methods-get-most-study-sessions\/\">active recall study methods<\/a> to see which one works best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to take notes from a textbook\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/09_document-detailed-notes.png_1077_225_11.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/09_document-detailed-notes.png_1077_225_11.png\" alt=\"Dotting the I's and crossing the T's\" class=\"wp-image-12102\" width=\"162\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/09_document-detailed-notes.png_1077_225_11.png 475w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/09_document-detailed-notes.png_1077_225_11-214x300.png 214w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 162px) 100vw, 162px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>To learn how to study from a textbook effectively, you\u2019ll need the following note-taking strategies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 1: Highlight key themes and concepts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Interacting with your textbook is a great reading strategy. Grab your favorite colored highlighter and pick important themes and concepts you\u2019d like to revisit or remember. This will help you pay close attention to what the text is trying to convey and select the most important information you need to know. And, if you like to color code, you can come back to information you have trouble understanding later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 2: Copy or bookmark diagrams, charts, and illustrations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These are in your nursing textbook for a reason. Grab an old receipt or sticky note to mark important illustrations. Images can help you visualize key concepts and understand data points. If you have room in your notes, try drawing the diagram or chart yourself.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 3: Paraphrase information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Re-writing your textbook word for word isn\u2019t super helpful. To promote reading comprehension, paraphrase the section in your own words to familiarize yourself with the information. If you have keywords in the text that stand out to you, you can write those down too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 4: Create an outline\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You see those headings and subheadings in your textbook? Use them! They\u2019re more than just for categorizing information in the chapter; they\u2019re used to note key information you need to know. Formatting your notes with these headings will keep you organized and prepared to review important nursing facts. Don\u2019t forget to pay attention to words in <strong>bold <\/strong>or <em>italics<\/em>. These can be handy keywords to have in your word bank for later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 5: Take notes from memory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking notes from memory is another way to test yourself on what you just read. Challenge yourself to read short chunks and close your textbook to make notes afterward. Then, you can revisit the text and notes to see what you missed and clean it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How you can maximize textbook retention with Picmonic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pricing\/nursing\">Picmonic<\/a> is research proven to increase retention and boost test scores.
