The SQRRR method:
Survey
Make sure you read the headings and subheadings of each chapter to see how they are linked together. Check out the inroduction and the questions at the end of each chapter. Make notes and also check out the diagrams and any visuals.
Question
Who, Where, What, When, How.
Read
Keep in mind the questions you had jotted down, read through the chapter twice and the third time, start making notes and highlight the main issues.
Recite
Now, after reading everything, close youe book and notes and say out loud, what you have wriiten down in your own understanding. Do not attempt to memorise everything word-for-word like a parrot. If you were unable to remeber the main issues, read the section you've missed again and try reciting the work without looking at your notes.
Review
Revising will help you remember the work long-term. Read the material again, make notes of the section is difficult to remember and go through it again and again, till you remember. Answer the questions you had jotted down and make sure you can answer each and everyone of them. Make sure you remember you heading and sub-headings.
