Make annotations in the margin to summarise points, raise questions, challenge what you’ve read, jot down examples and so on. You can do this in books or etexts. This takes more thought than highlighting, so you'll probably remember the content better.

Try using sticky notes if you don't want to mark the text. Jot brief notes on one and add it to the page, partly sticking out so you can identify the page.
Test yourself by reading for half an hour, putting the text away and jotting down the key points from memory. Go back to the text to fill in gaps.
Look for ‘signposts’ that help you understand the text - words like ‘most importantly’, ‘in contrast’, ‘on the other hand’.
Explain what you’ve read to someone else.
Record yourself reading the course material or your notes, and listen to the recording while you’re travelling.
"An active reader explores, wonders, disentangles, reworks, and assembles an always imperfect meaning that can always be revisited, and is potentially revolutionary!"
