Introducing the reading record templates, tips for writing, and useful tools recommended by experts.

Benefits of reading records

What are the benefits of reading records?There are four mainly four.

Looking back on the books I've read so far

First, the role as a memorandum.If you have an overview, impressions, readings of reading, etc. of the book you have read, it will be useful when you want to look back on the reading history or when you want to refer to the book you have read in the past.If you remain in a visible manner, it will lead to a sense of accomplishment and confidence.

The reading record is very significant in that you can write down your internal changes.I read the reading record five years ago and looked back, saying, "I was reading this book at the time," "I was thinking about this."

You can organize the contents of the book

Reading records allows you to organize book knowledge.

By output like ……, the information will be dropped into an easy -to -understand manner and you can understand it deeply.Especially when reading a book with a lot of information and a lot of information, it will be easier to read while keeping a record.

Easy to use book knowledge

If you have a reading record, it is useful when you want to use the knowledge of books.

…… If you have a reading record in such a case, you can remember the contents of the book promptly.If you haven't recorded anything, you'll read it from the beginning.

By "cooking" the book knowledge in the form of reading records in the form of reading records so that raw fish is judged and canned, you can immediately extract your knowledge when necessary.

Memory is easy to establish

According to a psychiatrist Shion Kabazawa, it is hard to forget the memory "mobility memory" that moved muscle.

Even if you don't ride a bicycle for a while, you won't forget how to ride.Similarly, the information that has been input with the movement of "writing" is easy to establish in memory.

Thus, reading records have many benefits.After reading a book, keep a reading record as much as possible.

How to write a reading record 1: One reading notebook

Finally, I will introduce the reading recording method specifically.First, the most basic way of writing.In addition to the basic information of the book, I will write down my impressions briefly in about one line.Specifically, please fill in these five.

1. タイトル
2. 読んだ日
3. 通し番号
4. 気に入った文章
5. 感想

Not only notebooks and apps, but also surface calculation software such as Excel are OK.

According to Nobuyuki Okuno, the author of "Nana Corporate Communication, 2008)," Continue reading in one notebook "(Nana Corporate Communication, 2008) is the most important thing in reading notes.Even a concise record of about one line is a big asset if it lasts for 10 years.As you continue to record, the quality of the content to be left behind will increase.

Therefore, it is recommended that you start reading records in a simple format as much as possible.Of course, if you have a lot of things you want to write, you can write any lines.

As for the reading record, Okuno scored the following four points.

Only the information you need

Write only the information that is important for you or that is impressive for reading records.You need the courage to throw away information that you don't need for you.If the author's loud claim is not important for you, you don't have to write it down.

Inconsistently in the true intention

When writing your impressions, take care of your own true intentions.If you couldn't sympathize with the author's opinion, write it down.There is no need to affirm the true intentions and bend them.Be aware of writing in a life -size language, regardless of your good text or nasty expression.

Not only the impression but also the reason

As long as it is a record, think about reading it back.

Write "What was interesting" and "Why did you feel interesting?"In addition to "I became a tame", I write "what kind of information has been tamed" and "how can I use it?"

If you simply write the reason why your impressions were born, it would be a better reading record because your memory would be more likely to be reproduced when you read it back.

Paste the memories

If you have memories related to the book, put it on your notebook.

If you leave such a "memorable item", your memories and impressions of reading a book will be revived clearly.It is also an advantage that the paper becomes colorful and the reading record is fun.

How to write reading records 2: A4 Paper Recording Law

Next is a reading recording method proposed by philosopher Hitoshi Ogawa.The following three points are summarized into one A4 paper.

1. One summary
2. Illustration
3. His own opinion

The restriction of "one A4 paper" is to understand the content deeply.Once the paper is limited, you will only select the essential information that is truly valuable.A reading record with a strong information density, which is packed with only essence.

The advantage is that the amount of information is small, so it is easy to save and carry records.Store the recorded paper in a file.

Then, I will explain the summary, illustration, and how to write my opinion.

One summary

First, summarize the contents of the book in one line.For business books and how -to books, "the claim that is the core of the author", and for stories and biography, "Synopsis and ending" are briefly summarized.

◆ Example of a summary

Illustration

Insert the points and the contents you want to record in the figure.Toyoshi Nagata: "Small people think with" illustration thinking "!(Mikasa Shobo, 2017), the rough flow of illustrations is as follows.

1. 本文からキーワードを抜き出す
2. 各キーワードの論理関係や時系列を矢印で表す
3. 各キーワードの関係を線で表す

In this way, I illustrated the beginning of "the theory and abacus".

1. キーワード「論語」「算盤」「道徳」「商才」「正しい道理の富」「永続」を書き出す
2. 「論語が算盤を基礎づける」という論理関係を矢印で表す
3. 「論語と道徳は同義」という関係を線で表す

His own opinion

The last "your own opinion" may be the most difficult.It's not easy to not only summarize the content but also to think about your own opinion.

According to Mr. Ogawa mentioned above, it is easy to be born, "I will try to put on the contents of the book."Don't look at what is written in the book, but read it, "Is it really correct?"Accepting honestly may not be considered with your own head, but may be halved the benefits of reading.

As an example, I had the following opinions about "theory and abacus".

He fully agree with the claim that the correct management is "to balance profits and morals."However, there was a question in the way of thinking only for moral models in "theory".The moral standards can change according to the needs and social structure of each era.The teachings of the "Longinth" written more than 2,000 years ago do not necessarily apply to modern times.As an example, the concept of "seniority", which is preached in the "theory", is being abolished in modern society.In order to make the most of the teachings of this book in the life -threatening life, should we rub together with the moral views in modern society?

If you dare to take a critical point of view, it will be easier to write your own opinion.It is a useful idea to record reading in other formats, so be sure to remember it.

How to write a reading record 3: K-W-L table

The following "K-W-L table" is a reading record table devised by American educator Dona Ogle to support students' reading.

1. K：what I know　これから読む本について知っていること
2. W：what I want to learn　その本から学びたいこと
3. L：what I learned　その本から学べたこと

Write in that order and deepen interest and understanding of books.

K: What you already know

Before reading the book, fill in "K" and "W".What I write in "K" is what I know about the book.Let's write it out as far as you can think of.If you don't think of anything, you can read the synopsis or obi, or check it on the Internet.

◆ Enterment example

"The theory and abacus"

"Romeo and Juliet"

W: What you want to learn from a book

In the form that develops "K", enter "W" what you want to know through reading.If you write "Book of Management Philosophy" in "K", you can ask, "What is" ideal management "for the author?"

In this process, the intellectual strange of "I want to know the contents of the book" is stirring.It is also an advantage that a "goal" to solve the questions born here is set, and the purpose of reading is clear.

◆ Enterment example

"The theory and abacus"

"Romeo and Juliet"

According to a certified psychologist Tatsuhisa Kawashima, human curiosity peaks when the understanding of the target is 60 %.We have a strong interest in "what we don't know", but what we don't know about what we know.

Even if you hear that a stranger has been married, you will not be interested, but you will want to know the news that the entertainer, Hiroyuki Ariyoshi, was married -this phenomenon can be explained with "60 % theory".increase.

From a psychological point of view, the K-W-L table that creates "what you want to know" based on "what you know" is reasonable.

L: What I learned from the book

Write "L" what you learned from books during reading to reading.in particular,

……Such.Consider reading back, especially carefully.

◆ Enterment example

"The theory and abacus"

"Romeo and Juliet"

It is a reading recording method that can greatly enhance the quality and efficiency of reading, although it is easy.

How to write a reading record 4: Use the margin of the book

The reading record technique introduced so far was written on notebooks and attached sheets.However, the method has the following disadvantages:

To solve this, you can write a reading record in the book itself.If you write down a page with a lot of margins before and after the table of contents, the reading record and the book will be integrated, eliminating the disadvantages listed above.

Let's introduce how to do it by referring to Hiroshi Seki, "Technology for Dating and Learning and Learning with All Information in the Ultimate Self -Academic World" (Discover Twenty One, 2020).Make a note of the five items that you noticed while reading in a bulleted list with the number of pages.

1. Important information according to the theme
2. テーマからは逸れるが、有益だと感じた情報
3. 著者独自の見解
4. スタイルに関する気づき
5. Quoted bookの情報

Important information according to the theme

The first thing that should be noted is important information related to the main theme.If the book is a single tree, it is information that corresponds to the "trunk".If you are a business book that explains your work know -how

............ It is an important information according to the theme.

Information that deviates from the theme but is useful

Even if you are far from the theme of the book, write down the information that you feel "not useful" or "interesting".If it's a book that handles work know -how

……Such.It is information that is worthwhile to write down, although it is somewhat off the main theme of "work know -how".

The author's unique claim

The third is the author's claim.Write down what resonates with the author's views and ideas, such as "I think XX" and "I want to appeal to XX".In the case of work know -how books

The sentence like …… is the author's unique view and claim.

What I noticed about the style

If you have any awareness of the book, such as the composition of the book or style, write it down for reference.

If you leave such an awareness, it may be helpful when you make materials and slides to people.

Quoted book

What is often overlooked is the information of the quoted book.According to Seki, many books quoted in good books are worth reading.As a reference to choose the next book to read, it is useful to keep the information of the quoted book in the reading record.

How to write a reading record 5: Quoted best three

The recommendation in such a case is the "quoted best three" recommended by educator Takashi Saito.It is a simple reading recording method that only selects three impressive sentences.

In the case of "Quoted Best Three", the reading record fits in about three lines, so it can be written in a notebook, diary, the margin of books, and a little space.It is also an advantage that the sense of purpose of "looking for the best three" is born.

Set the criteria for choosing "Best Three" according to the type of book and the purpose of reading.If you are a How -to Book, choose a sentence that feels useful, not a "sentence that resonates with your heart".

◆ Example of "criteria for choosing best three"

If you can't decide the best three

If you limit the "situation that quotes that sentence", it should be easy to narrow down.If you can afford it, you should write down the reasons for choosing.

It is a simple and easy -to -practice reading recording method, so please try it.
