What's the best way to read to take in information without having to re-read the same sentence multiple times over?

Answer 1

The best way to understand each sentence you have just read is to make sure you are reading slowly and carefully. You should also practice pausing after each sentence or every couple of sentences to mentally reflect on what you have just read. This is particularly helpful when reading textbooks or other dense materials such as peer reviewed journal articles. Pausing to mentally ask yourself, what did I just read? ensures you understand each sentence before you move on to the next.
