Neither highlighting nor speaking aloud has ever helped me (though if it works for Jon Udell more power to him). For me the secret has always been to reinterpret and reconstruct. When studying somehting really closely I would break it down and create an outline. Understanding the structure helped me remember the whole. To really understand something I would recreate it in my own words (or my own code, or whatever). That's the origin of this newsletter and most of my software projects.
