Effective methods for quickly memorizing text

In the context of the approaching session, students increasingly have the question of how to memorize dates and events in order to somehow write exams. Such a statement of the problem makes us think about what will help in the rapid and high-quality development of educational material.

What is more important than dates and events or understanding of the process

Some people have a phenomenal memory and can quickly remember all the events, reforms and the course of military events. Often the answer of such people is based on knowledge of dates, but is compensated by an understanding of causal relationships.

Human memory is not infinite, and besides, mere events and dates do not carry any value. For a historian, it is not so important to know dates and events, although this is a support historical knowledge, but in order to remember and reproduce the course of events, it is important to understand the historical process. So, in order to understand the process, it is enough to read two or three books or articles that describe and characterize the same events. Just as important for remembering historical events is understanding the context in which they occur. Under the context of this case the overall picture is understood, at least in neighboring states. In addition, teachers can often appreciate good grades and knowledge of the relative chronology of events. So, for example, if an event happened on April 29, 1918, and you don’t remember exact date, then you can write without a certain accuracy - "in the spring of 1918".

Should I memorize entire paragraphs?

Even the most the best teachers do not get hung up on dates, although they certainly know them. Often teachers have reference abstract, which contains events and dates. These notes can be in the form of a presentation that both students and the teacher can see. At school, teachers also lead their story by looking at the book. If you want to remember the process, then make a reference note. To pass exams or tests well, you need:

  • Understand the process of ongoing events;
  • Read two or three books on a certain issue;
  • It is enough to rewrite the main idea in your own words;
  • To know the relative chronology is not worth specifying.

How to learn a paragraph in history

1. First, just read the paragraph. At this stage, it is important to capture the main essence of the topic. Don't go back to a line if you don't understand it. Just keep reading. At the end, run in your mind over the main points. What did you manage to remember, what did you understand, what conclusions can be drawn. This is the shortest but most important step.

2. Then read the same paragraph, but more slowly. You need to highlight names, dates, and other elements. If necessary, write them down in your notebook. Special attention pay attention to subheadings and Additional materials. try to understand main idea in every paragraph. If it fits in any sentence, then it must also be underlined.

3. The third time you need to read the text very thoughtfully. After each paragraph, ask yourself if you were able to understand what was written. If not, then read again and, if necessary, find Additional information. You must understand all events and dates, as well as roughly understand what they are associated with. Look at the pictures, imagine past events. All this makes it easier to remember what is written.

4. Then you need to plan the text from memory. It is not necessary that all items be there. Highlight only those thoughts and actions that seemed to you the main ones. Then try to retell the content according to this plan. If everything is assimilated well, then you can proceed to the questions of the author. If there are any gaps, then they need to be filled.

5. After completing all the tasks, try retelling the text again. However, this time, start the story not from the beginning, but from the end. Ancient Greek orators used this technique before speeches. So they could be completely sure that they would not forget the speech and that they would be able to tell everything in the right order.

6. Even if after these steps it seems to you that you remember the material perfectly, it will still need to be repeated after a while. It doesn't matter if you reread the paragraph or just run the contents through your head. If there are several days before the lesson, it is better to read the materials again in 1-2 days. That way you won't forget what you've learned.

7. This plan is designed for very high quality memorization and study of the topic. If you just need to familiarize yourself with the content, then you can limit yourself to the first two points. Also a great help various games and video on the internet. For example, you can find a documentary about the events described in the paragraph.

Every person is faced with a situation when it is necessary to quickly learn something heftily. Such a need may appear not only before an exam or test, but also in the preparation of an ordinary homework. History is a subject, one that requires both logical thinking and knowledge to remember. And it is this “dual unity”, if you know how to apply it, that allows you to prepare for an exam or a lesson quite quickly.

You will need

  • – date table;
  • - historical maps.

Instruction

1. If you need to quickly learn a whole section or even each textbook, share necessary material on blocks. These can be historical periods or different regions at the same time. Read the material not in separate paragraphs, but in paragraphs or blocks. If we are talking about the same period in different countries, highlight the similarities and differences between them and write it down. When memorizing dates, remember what happened in the same year in a neighboring country.

2. When memorizing material for individual historical periods, before each one, highlight the new that happened in any era in comparison with the previous ones, and what disappeared. This will allow you to imagine historical process in the making, and then you will be able to tell more or less coherently about any period, even if you forget some date or name.

3. Be careful not to memorize the material word for word. Any text must be understood before everyone else, and then the process of memorization goes much easier. Designate the plan of the story, it is even allowed to write it down. Highlight the most important points. Establish a logical connection between them. Think about the words you could use to describe this event. Use scientific terms strictly, but at the same time learn how to explain them.

4. As you read the paragraph, imagine the events that in question, as well as the heroes of these events. Try to answer the questions, what kind of people they were, what clothes they wore, what their morals were. Memorize their names and learn to pronounce them positively. Use all kinds of memory you have. Retell the paragraph according to the plan, but in your own words.

5. Determine which dates are major and which are minor. Remember the most important dates. This is the preface and ending of one or the other historical period and dates of major events. Retell the text using the dates in the story.

History is an interesting subject. It is based on the skills that everyone needs. When you comprehend history, it opens non-standard world, the world of conquests and travels, battles and truces. Having figured out how to easily and quickly learn history, you will be happy to learn its secrets.

You will need

  • History material

Instruction

1. Start reading a paragraph or chapter. In no case is it necessary to start memorizing dates. Find a peaceful place, relax, make sure that no one distracts you. Start reading the material. In order for it to stay in your head, try to turn on your imagination. When reading a chapter, let's say about the battle, imagine it as vividly as possible, as if you were watching a movie. Reading about palace coups, think about how they happened, imagine events in detail. Pay attention to historical figures. It is also allowed to watch a movie about those events that you need to learn.

2. Later, try to remember that film, the one that you "recorded". As soon as you notice some flaw in the events, look here in the tutorial. Repeat this process until the picture is complete and clear. The most important thing here is saturation. Only by completely surrendering to the process, you will be able to achieve sensations. Therefore, put aside all the cases and direct all attention to the story.

3. Let's move on to dates, terms and definitions. Finally, here you have to memorize. To simplify remembering and orienting in dates, you need to link them to events. Let's say, knowing that the Battle of Borodino happened in 1812. To the question "when Napoleon came to power", we conclude that at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Remembering a couple more events, we will be able to determine the date especially correctly. Be diligent in consistently tying dates to multiple events.

At the current time, scientists have studied the features of human memory in more detail and offer a lot of special techniques for its formation. When comprehending history, the formation and training of memory are easily needed. A special difficulty is the memorization of a huge number of dates in which not only a certain year can be significant, but also an exact calendar date.

Instruction

1. In order to fix the date in memory, you must first remember the basic doctrine: the whole number from 0 to 9 corresponds to a certain consonant letter. 0 - n (zero), 1 - p (times), 2 - l, (the letter “l” has two vertical sticks), 3 - t (three), 4 - h (four), 5 - p (five), 6 - w (six), 7 - s (seven), 8 - c (eight), 9 - d ( nine).

2. Now, to memorize a certain number, make words or chains of words from the corresponding consonants. At the same time, lower the first number 1, from the fact that it determines the millennium and is usually famous. Let's say October Revolution happened in 1917. Of the relevant consonants D, R, C we compose a phrase, say, "worker socialists have been torn apart."

3. Be diligent when remembering to include images. For example, in order to remember the sequence of kings, imagine your acquaintances with the corresponding names and line them up in your mind, or imagine that one is catching up with the other: Katya - Petya (Catherine I after Peter the Epochal), etc. Do not be afraid of funny and meaningless images, the more they will be remembered.

4. In order to remember several countries, cities, or something else (say, the countries of the Entente), use abbreviations. When deciphering the abbreviation, you are unlikely to forget at least one of the components.

5. Use the properties of visual memory. If you have a lecture on history written in a summary in solid text, mark key words with a highlighter that will later help you restore a huge part of the text.

6. Be diligent to begin by memorizing not the date, but the event. That is, do not primitively repeat to yourself: “ Battle on the Ice- 1242", and watch the film "Alexander Nevsky", read about some details that you may remember, maybe find some funny name or name with which this event will be associated, and after that the date.

7. Tie dates of the twentieth century to history own family Let's say Khrushchev came to power in 1953 - your dad or uncle was born that year, perestroika began in 1985 - your sister was two years old, etc.

Useful advice
Strive to remember historical events not in fragments, but to imagine the historical process as a whole, then it will be easier for you to navigate the sequence of events and their influence on each other.

Preparation for tests differs from exam preparation in that it takes place more quickly. tea all offsets each for a few days. If they are turned in, half the session is in your pocket. But how to learn so much material in a short time?

Instruction

1. If there are several days before the submission, divide the disciplines by relevance and deadline. Choose from all the tests those that you know perfectly well, those that will need to be tightened up and those that are darker than a dense forest for you. Your task is to read a few questions a day from the “easy” discipline and a few more from the “dense forest”. So you will learn things little by little and not one large share. Start with small branches, and then bring down each oak.

2. Take breaks. Preferably not five-minute snacks, but full-fledged respite for 1-2 hours. At this time, walk, sing, go to a cafe, chat on the phone, or even do spring cleaning. The main thing is not to think about the coming "exit to Golgotha". During a break, it is significant to distract the head from stress, and while the brains are “cooling down”, they will at the same time learn the material they have read earlier.

3. If time is running out catastrophically and there is no strength to prepare, use the old and proven method: write “spurs”. And do not download them from the Internet, but write by hand. When you write down information, you are making a mini-outline. It consists of the basic things that you had to remember. When you write, you think and remember. Approximately every student had situations when it was not possible to get a "spur" and had to restore all the information from his head. And later it turned out that the result approximately coincided with the text of the unused cheat sheet.

4. Don't try to cram all the information in overnight. If you manage to run through each material with your eyes, then in the morning it will turn into something mushy. Often, it is after the nightly vigils for books in the test that students come across pearls in the spirit of “There were three heroes in Russia - Dobrynya Nikitich, Ilya Muromets and Genghis Khan.” Do not deprive yourself of sleep, be zealous in primitive reasonable use of time.

Occasionally, for some reason, a student misses almost a whole semester, and during the session he faces a nightmare in the form of an exam in a subject that is certainly incomprehensible to him. Is it possible to learn the textbook in the three days left before the test or exam?

Instruction

1. The first rule is don't despair. The human brain is able to digest a hefty large amount of information in a short time, it is quite easy to tune in to a solid job. Put aside all other things for a while, prepare study literature and find a list of exam questions.

2. Don't try to drill. It does not ideally help to understand the subject, it will require large expenditures of time. In addition, from excitement at the exam itself, you can primitively forget a word, which means that your story will end there. Comprehension of the subject must be understood.

3. Divide the number of questions by the time left before the exam. As usual, there are no more than thirty questions, so you will have to learn ten questions each within 3 days.

4. Proceed to a systematic study of the entire issue. The development of the topic should go further. Read the paragraph of the textbook: first, highlight the key words and definitions, review the formulas and determine what all their elements mean. Re-read the material and retell it. After the paragraphs, traditionally put tasks, answer theoretical questions and solve as large problems as possible. Having worked out the topic in this way, move on to the next question.

5. Build the right daily routine. Larks work better than anyone in the morning, owls - later than lunch, therefore, the maximum information should be brought to these hours. Do not be distracted by third-party stimuli: no talking on the phone and computer games. At night, you need to sleep, before going to bed, rest for an hour and a half. And in the morning - new information in huge numbers.

6. Develop general erudition. This will help to quickly absorb new knowledge and develop memory. In general, in a similar way it is possible to master virtually any theoretical subject for a short time. True, it’s better to study systematically during the semester, because similar “brainstorming sessions” will really help you get a great grade on the exam, but do not guarantee strong and great knowledge.

To quickly remember text, it is allowed to use various systems approaches. You should never learn the techniques of memorization by attending special highly professional courses or by adopting their main directions with independent training.

Instruction

1. From the fact that the subject text ov is different and the amount of information stored is also not the same, choose the method in which you will be able to reproduce the information as accurately as possible. Schoolchildren will need one memorization system, while students and teachers need a completely different one.

2. On the this moment there are three memory systems text ov. In the first option, training takes place in speed reading courses, which are quite common in supplementary school education. For children's trainings, scientifically famous text s in the amount of not more than one typewritten sheet, not containing specifically accurate information. The quality of memorization is determined immediately after reading and does not have a long-term character. The student must correctly answer 10 questions, which provides him with a 100% result. There are similar courses for adults.

3. 2nd method assumes memorization text and with the support of his review. We also conduct this method as pedagogical mnemonics. The trainings use very short text s (in several paragraphs) with the minimum number precise details. Please note that this method has one significant drawback. It requires "chewing" passages text a, detection and review of the connection between main and secondary thoughts, multiple options for posing questions to the material and results on them, which slows down the memorization process.

4. Note that the above method provides more high quality memorization in the process of rapid reading. Really, keep in mind that this method does not provide for memorization by paragraphs and does not provide 100% fixation in the memory of digital data, nor does it guarantee that text will remain in your memory for a long time.

5. Learn to memorize information with the help of classical mnemonics based on visual thinking. This method completely eliminates passive recall. The result is a consistent presentation of the material without leading questions in full, either orally or in writing. The quality of memorization is assessed quite severely: violation of the sequence of paragraphs, omission or distortion of accurate information, incorrect sequence of presentation of accurate information within the boundaries of one paragraph is not allowed. Of course, this method makes it possible to remember information at the highest tier.

6. When choosing a course of study, specify what methodology it is based on, what level of difficulty is used in training, and what are the criteria for evaluating acquired skills after training. Then you won't have to regret the wasted time.

Note!
In order to quickly learn the text, you need to approach this matter with desire. And in advance. Let the text not cause you horror (you are better than him). Choose to memorize daytime when your brain is not yet overworked.

Useful advice
Count how many paragraphs are in this article. Close your eyes and visualize your page. A clear copy of your text should appear before your eyes. Open your eyes again and now you are starting to memorize a small passage more closely.

The session for students traditionally comes unexpectedly, and preparation for exams passes quickly. learn fast necessary information and not to fill up the test is allowed only under the condition of complete concentration of attention.

Instruction

1. Start preparing the truth for a week. It will be unrealistic to learn the exam in one day, only if you did not attend classes every semester or did not particularly pay attention to the words of the teacher. Dosing information will lead to better assimilation and memorization.

2. Estimate the amount of information you need to learn and make a schedule. Divide all the information into tickets, count their number and distribute them over the days remaining before the exam. Set yourself the task of reading a certain number of tickets every day, and in no case do not deviate from this goal, on the contrary, in the end you will have to learn many times more, which will not give a result.

3. Do not be distructed. It's cooler to read every hour in silence than several - in a noisy stop. Turn off the TV, radio, player and computer. Resist the temptation to take a moment to look into social media Or call a classmate. Focus on the material, think about what you read, if something is not understood, go back and read it again. Do not try to remember the text by heart. The main thing in preparation is to understand the material, learn it and tell the teacher at the exam.

4. Take breaks. Of course, many hours of cramming will not lead to anything great. Get up from the table about once every forty minutes. The rest can last five to ten minutes, during which you must have time to drink water, have a snack, do a little workout and walk around the room. Try not to switch attention to the computer or TV.

5. If there is one or two days left before the exam, and the amount of information is too huge, you will have to use the extreme technique - “reading on an oblique”. Its essence lies in the fact that you do not read the material, but view it. There is one “but”: this method is suitable only for those students who have excellent visual memory. When you pull out a ticket, the words from the books will pop up in your head, and the result will add up by itself.

Note!
Cheat sheets are not only a chance to cheat on the exam, but also to remember the material. When typing on a computer or writing it by hand, you use muscle and visual memory, which gives a good result of memorization.

The art of memorization, mnemonics, has many tricks that help you sort information into the right cells, and then easily extract it from there. But in order to master mnemonics, you need to make an effort, but then all of them will be justified.

Instruction

1. There is nothing delightful in the fact that a schoolboy or a student begins to study a subject a few days before the exam. However, the results of such brainstorming should not be astonished. Such behavior is an extraordinary calculation of luck, which is far from being favorable to everything. Nevertheless, in a few days it is still possible to learn the theory if you are well versed in the utilitarian part.

2. To begin with, remember a few rules: - the larger the passage of the comprehended text, the better you understand the material, and awareness is the basis of the result; - it is better to learn little by little with interruptions than everything at once; - if you have to learn several materials of different volumes, you need to start from more.

3. Now make a diagram of your work with the subject. If in the morning you do not work and do not study, then plan your classes for this time. Whoever you are - "lark" or "owl", the brain works better in the first half of the day, you will remember better with a fresh mind. Especially favorable times are 7:00-12:00 and 14:00-17:00.

4. Start with the most difficult material, only if your practice is bad. In order for the information to be firmly deposited, it must be repeated four times. But this should not be primitive thoughtless reading and cramming. In the 1st time you look through the material and find out its design, in the 2nd time you identify the basic principles and their relationship with each other, in the 3rd time you repeat the most important facts, and finally draw up a plan for the result. According to the plan, you will be guided if something needs to be repeated.

5. Properly plan time not only to comprehend the subject, but also to rest. Mental work quickly enough leads the body to an oppressed state. by the most the best vacation is considered to be a change in the type of activity from mental to physical work. Every 40 minutes, take breaks during which it is desirable to warm up and completely distract from the material that you comprehended.

6. Repeating the results for exam questions, diligently strive first to recall everything that you have learned or knew before, then write it down and only then read it. Highlight the most difficult moments and tell them to your loved ones. Explaining to someone, you realize and remember the material. When each body of material has been completed, arrange an exam for yourself - randomly select questions and answer them.

The right approach to doing homework allows you to remember everything without problems and avoid mistakes in written work. At the same time, it is important to follow the daily routine, be able to alternate tasks and not neglect cool rest.

Instruction

1. It is not necessary to start doing homework immediately after coming from school. The break must be at least 2 hours. During this time, you will be able to assimilate the information that you received in 5-7 hours of being in the classroom. Greater in given period get some sleep, play sports or take a walk. Action should be related to moving load, not mental things.

2. A student can rarely concentrate on one thing for more than 20 minutes. The main thing is to switch attention to something, to alternate action. If you are doing written tasks, from time to time go to oral ones, and vice versa. After 40 minutes, do something energetic, like running or walking. It is significant to arrange changes at home.

3. Alternate doing lessons with rest, but remember that TV or the Internet is also a mental action. If you give them time between classes, the brain will not rest. It is better to prefer jogging, walking in the fresh air, playing with a ball, energetic activities with a dog or other children. Consequently, it is allowed to divide the lessons into two parts, complete the first, then go for a walk, and then finish the homework.

4. Start your lessons with something simple, and slowly move on to the difficult. The brain is not immediately included in the work, it takes time to tune in. But for every person there are priorities, the humanities seem easy to someone, and technical sciences to someone, everything is individual. Determine the sequence for yourself personally, stick to it continuously, this will help you complete all tasks faster.

5. If you need to memorize a huge amount of material, divide it into parts. A poem can be taught in quatrains, and large texts can be divided into paragraphs. Once you have mastered one part, say it out loud several times, then distract yourself with something, and after 10 minutes tell it all again. It is allowed to start learning a further slice only after the break. The brain absorbs small amounts of data more easily, but it has the quality of forgetting large pieces.

6. If memorizing oral texts causes snags, try playing with associations. Any text and events in it must be combined with some images. You can use your favorite characters, elements of nature or family members. Each slice should be associated with something exciting and comical, this will make it possible to recall what has been learned at any moment. But this technique great fit for kids younger age. Terrible children who do not have the habit of thinking in images will find it more difficult to master this method.

How to learn history

History is a rather difficult subject for many, especially if you are not a humanist. For many, the question of how to learn history remains unanswered, since it is difficult to learn something that does not have a soul at all. However, there is various ways study of this difficult subject.

Depending on what exactly you need to learn and how long it takes, you can learn the subject in different ways.

Paragraph

It is easier to learn a paragraph from a textbook, as usually paragraphs are relatively short. In addition, they contain the same type of information that relates to a specific event or period in history, so the task is greatly simplified.

Before you learn a paragraph on history, come up with a small reward for your work. For example, it could be something tasty or an opportunity to play on the computer for half an hour.

First, reread the paragraph and try to understand its general idea. For example, if this is a paragraph about a specific battle, identify who fought whom and who won. Write everything separately important dates from it, adding to them short descriptions. This way you can create a kind of paragraph plan with a chronology of events.

Try to memorize these dates. Once you've done that, try adding some of the important details from the paragraph to each date and memorize them again. You need to do this until you have the entire paragraph distributed by date.

How to learn dates

Most big question for many - how to learn dates from history, as this is often an overwhelming task.

There is various methods completing this task.

For example, you can divide a sheet of paper into two columns and write dates on it in such a way that the date is in the left column and events are in the right. Now you need to read the dates several times and try to reproduce them. First, you cover the right column with a thick piece of paper and try to remember which date corresponds to which event. Then the same must be done by closing the left column.

Another way: cut a piece of paper into small pieces. On one side of a small leaf, write the date, on the other - the corresponding event. Next, you need to lay out all the leaves in front of you with the date up. Take any piece of paper, read the date out loud and name the event. Turn the paper over and check if you named it correctly. If you don't remember an event, just read it. Do this until all the leaves are upside down. After that, do the same in reverse order.

Learn fast

Before a test or exam, the most popular question is how to learn history quickly. To do this, divide all the material into certain semantic blocks, for example, by centuries or rulers. Studying each new block, try to highlight for yourself its difference from the previous one, characteristics. Try to imagine the events you are reading about so that you have certain associations.

If you are faced with such a task as learning the history of Russia, try to associate events with the cities you have been to, and the names of historical persons with your acquaintances.

Each person periodically faces the need to learn material of various content and volume. This is easy for some, but the vast majority of people face difficulties, not knowing how to quickly memorize a given amount of text.

The work of the human brain has not yet been 100% studied, we only know that we use a small part of the brain's abilities. The psychological processes that take place in the human mind are amenable to daily training. Memory and other mechanisms of consciousness can be developed to unprecedented heights. A strong memory will make it possible to achieve success in any area of ​​human life, it will be needed in "everyday" life, study, it will easily increase intellectual abilities.

To learn a text, artistic or scientific content, you will need constant memory training with exercises specially designed for this. Human memory is divided into visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory and tactile. It is the ability to memorize and store any amount of information.

Each type of memory develops differently in people. It is easier for someone to memorize the text by saying it out loud, and for someone, on the contrary, it is better absorbed after visualizing what has been read. Therefore, it is important to understand which type of memory is better developed in order to use it for memorization in the future.

The same information can be learned well in several ways. There are three ways to memorize the necessary material in short time.

  • Method of rational memorization;

It is based on the use of logical memory. In the process of rational memorization, semantic and logical connection life experience material. With rational memorization, there is an awareness of the read text and information is easier to perceive. This method helps to remember the material by heart, trains intellectual abilities and increases knowledge.

  • Method of mnemotechnical memorization;

This is the most interesting way out of three. It helps to remember non-semantic information, due to processing into images and associative links. Mnemotechnical memorization is based on the life experience gained, translating the text into images familiar to the mind. This method helps to remember a large amount of material that does not carry a semantic load. It can be dates, phone numbers, names, addresses. It helps fight everyday forgetfulness by increasing the possibility of rote remembering what is happening.

  • mechanical memory method.

This method involves memorizing the material. It is considered ineffective and difficult to train, as it can fail at any moment, “falling out” of memory. With age, the ability to rote memorization deteriorates.

memorization techniques

For quick assimilation of the text, use different techniques memorization. One of the most effective method thoughtful reading. It is well suited for memorizing large and small volumes. This method is used by actors who, like no one else, need to know how to quickly memorize a text.

  • First, slowly and carefully read the text that needs to be remembered. Better to read it aloud. When reading, you need to understand main idea text, its main plot, so that you can quickly remember.
  • If the amount of material is large, we break it into semantic parts. Each part must be learned separately, finding in them the main words or phrases in meaning. This will help in the future, restore all the text in order.
  • After that, you need to rewrite the entire text, manually. This should be done slowly, delving into the essence of what is written.
  • After everything is rewritten, we retell what we remember. Need to remember the smallest details based on keywords. If you can’t remember some moment, it’s better not to peep into the records, but try to do it yourself. You can only watch in case of emergency.
  • Further, we rewrite for the second time only what we remembered without prompting.
  • On the last step re-read the text carefully and retell it. It's best to do this before bed.

This memorization method is suitable for learning text verbatim. It will help students, pupils of the school and everyone who needs to a short time know how to learn a large amount of information. Theater and film actors use this method to remember their roles.

Tricks for quick memorization

There are some more simple but very effective tricks for memorizing the entire text, based on the nuances of how our brain works. For this you need:

  • Highlight the main points in the text with a bright marker;

This will allow you not to be distracted by the extra part of the text. Actors thus highlight their phrases in the script.

  • Sing words or text;

This non-standard method memorization. Having sung the material, he will better get into memory and it can be remembered faster.

  • You need to read until the meaning becomes completely clear;

It is very important to feel the feelings and emotions for yourself if it is fiction experienced by the heroes.

  • After reading, ask yourself questions about the content;
  • Read aloud with expression;
  • Write the text with the other hand;
