#5 Re-Read
This final strategy may seem like a waste of time since you have already read the book but re-reading exercises are very useful to the brain in remembering events, writing styles, various literary devices, and understanding the story at a different level than before. Think of it as re-watching a movie. You know what to expect now and can get excited when a special scene is about to occur. With reading, re-reading a book allows you digest the story in another way and analyze the story better since you have already read it once. If time is a factor, skimming through a book after you read can be effective as well. It allows you to summarize the story better when you quickly look back and are made to remember the important events of the story instead of all of the details.
