How do I find facts and details?

The six questions are who, what, where, when, why, and how. The form of each question changes slightly, depending on what you are reading. For example, a good “who” question for reading a narrative is “Who are the characters?” For reading a scientific report, a good question might be, “Who did the experiment or wrote the report?”

Remembering facts and details is made easier by visualizing the facts or details, seeing a picture in your head. If it is a narrative, then try to visualize the details of the setting, the voices of the characters, and the other details. If it is a set of instructions, try to visualize your movement and the object at each step. You may also want to make notes or diagrams to help you visualize.
