Techniques for private Bible study
Seek information on subjects of immediate interest or personal curiosity
Make notes, and organize them by topic or by scripture text
Read the Bible for pleasure
Read it for the adventure stories, love stories, history, poetry, literature
Commit to a comprehensive study of the Bible

Choose Bible study helps carefully. Suggested helps are:
Use the cross references in your Bible, add your own
Use the abbreviated concordance in your Bible

If you can only buy one study help, buy a good, all-purpose dictionary.
Then add:
a complete concordance
a topical Bible, one with the scripture text included is best
a Bible dictionary or encyclopedia
