There are many good ideas on this thread already to help in learning from a textbook. Here's some others:
* Take notes as you read.
* Highlight a sentence or two on every page or every section that summarizes the main idea of the section.
* Before reading a chapter, look at the index, outline, or the chapter header to see what the chapter is about. Copy down the outline and as you read the chapter, track which points you are now learning and what you've learned.
* Read aloud. Recite what you are writing aloud when you take notes. It has been proven that the more senses you involve when studying, the quicker you internalize. By reading aloud, you involve your auditory senses. Reading aloud while you write adds the tactile sensation of writing to the auditory sensations.
