Ask the three magic questions before your reading sessions.

By incorporating the three magic questions into your reading, you will help personalize what you learn. Think of these questions as a way to make what you read meaningful and useful to you. The more meaning you derive from what you read, the more you will remember. Asking questions before you read is a great way to prime your memory.

Before beginning your next reading session, start by asking yourself these three questions:

• How can I use this?
• Why must I use this?
• When will I use this?
