1.  KNOW YOUR GOAL  take a strategic approach know how you're going to be tested on this book is it MCQs or long answer type short answers or fill in the blanks knowing this before you begin reading helps us take a big-picture approach on the book.

2.  IMPRESS CREATE  step number two is called impress create the right first impression see a new girl has joined your school and you want to make friends with her chances are you're gonna ask people hey who she where she come from before you start making that first conversation with her similarly to create a good first impression on your memory you need to prime your brain maybe you want to read an overview of the content on the internet go through a video or a documentary become familiar before you dive in remember

           "Content is king but context is God"

 3. SYSTEMATIC SKIMMING step number three is called systematic skimming now when you begin to have that first conversation with this girl chances are it's going to hover around the bigger topics like with cities you've lived in what do your parents do how many siblings do you have with school did you go to earlier etc similarly when you start reading that book for the first time now that you've already made that good first impression try making friends with the book skim the chapter go over the points in bold the blurbs and the headings and formulate a big picture in your mind.

5. ENGAGE step number five engage all your senses now imagine taking dozens and dozens of clothes and trying to hang them up on a wall on one single hook chances are some of them might stay and most of them are just gonna fall down what we need is multiple hooks at different points on that wall likewise our brain is that wall and reading the book is the one hook on which we are trying to put all the information and hoping that it stays like that we need to create multiple hooks in our brain and our senses are those multiple hooks one sight how do we develop a photogenic memory to help us recollect the entire text visually I found that trying to remember which corner of the page the information appeared on helped me recall it better in the exams also think in pictures the more grotesque or vivid the images are the more likely we are to remember it make mind maps charts and diagrams maybe see videos and documentaries to sound sound will help us create new associations in a different part of the brain so read out aloud especially the Key words.
