Sometimes, it may be hard to remember what you read. It happens to me a lot. I figured out that if you read in short chunks or phrases, it makes it easier to remember. I put an example below that I read. The slashes are where you pause. Two slashes in a row means the end of a sentence. I found it much easier to remember.
What started out/ as a normal day/ would soon turn into/ one of the most unusual days/ Joe had ever had.// His mom came in/ and woke him up at 7:10/ so he could get ready/ for school.// Breakfast was the same cereal/ he ate every day/ along with an orange/ and a glass of juice.// As he left,/ he grabbed his homework/ and backpack.// He told his mom/ that he had a basketball game/ that night.//
When we were asked these questions, we knew all the answers without looking back:
What time did his mom wake Joe up?
What was for breakfast?
What did he grab as he left?
What did he tell his mom?
This takes longer, but it helps you remember it better, as long as you find the right place to pause.
