my 'during reading' sucks

Since there was really no question on the calendar thingy, im just going to free write. as a child, the hardest part of reading for me was the 'during reading' aspect of it. before i read, i can map out the basics like the things that i know, the things i want to know, and what i expect or whatever, but during reading my teachers never coached us or aided us in ways to remember what we had read. i used to, and still do, re-read sections over and over again before i would fully understand the point. i have never been a strong reader, unless i am reading harry potter, and i always found it difficult to remember many details of what i read after finishing hte book unless i took notes. more teachers should use the methods designed to help students comprehend what they are reading, whild reading it, becuase i feel like things like 'coding text' or 'sketching my way through the text' would have helped me understand better. i still might adopt the method of coding text so that i can make sense of things easier. i guess when i read, i just have too much info in my head at once. i like to keep things simple
