question reading about a topic you may know nothing about is difficult so in order to retain the information after reading a paragraph repeat it out loud or write a summary of the information received this will let you know if what you read was processed in your head to take it a step further a useful tip would be to ask a question about the paragraph asking a question will help you really dig into the topic and become interested in what you're learning if you enjoy what you are learning it will become easier to remember it to
