Be sure that you keep your 11 in mind during your reading so that you know you should also adopt some specific techniques—such as making notes from your reading—to aid your concentration.
If you play the role of a 12 receiver of information, simply concentrating on absorbing everything you read, you will 13 that your mind is overloaded, confused by the material. Then you should take a more active approach. Enter into a 14 with the text, pausing to reflect on what you read, and 15 what you find. That'll be good for reading and comprehension.
