The 10 Quick Steps to Supercharged Learning
The basis of this method can be applied to most lesson types. It works whether a lesson is taught through a television documentary, an audio tape, a book, a teacher in a classroom, a group discussion or any other medium. However, because it is being taught in a form that you have to read, it is written under the assumption that the lesson to be learned is in a written format such as a book or pamphlet; it is for you to workout how you can apply it to other lesson formats.
The more senses that are involved in their creation the more ways you have to follow those maps
Go and grab yourself the following three items:
- Something to write with
- Something to write on
- Something to read
Whatever you choose to write with must be something you are comfortable with. It can be a pen, a felt-tip, a crayon, a pencil or anything else you choose – just be sure you can write clearly and easily with it. For the method I am about to share it is best for you to choose several pens of various vivid colors.
The something to write on should be white or lightly colored and A4 sized or bigger. It must give you room to express yourself freely.
I’m going to give you a word and you are going to write down the first word that pops into your head when you read it. Then, you will write the word that your word conjures into your mind then the word that that word brings to mind and so on…

The something to read should be something you want to learn, preferably a short text of around two thousand words. If you are struggling to find something, use this guide as your subject material or try one of these wikipedia articles:
If you choose to use an audio tape, DVD or some other method of instruction then I suggest you choose something that can be broken into 40 minute segments.
The method of learning is simple:
- Recall what you already know
- Assess what you want to learn
- Discover what you want to learn
- Associate what you have learned with what you already know
- Recall what you have newly learned along with what you already know
The method is easily remembered as the acronym RADAR and is split into 10 easy to follow steps. Get your pen (or pens) and paper ready and be prepared to supercharge your learning style.
