The free coursera course "Learning How To Learn" really helped shape the way I learn and practice new coding concepts/languages/frameworks, etc. Here's a pretty good summary of it: https://medium.com/learn-love-code/learnings-from-learning-h... Barbara Oakley (from the course) also wrote a book called A Mind for Numbers if that's more of your style. A tip from the book for your problem of "My eyes just gloss over and I re-read the same sentence..." would be to stop and break that sentence down into fragments, and understand each fragment before you try to comprehend the whole. I would often just reread the same paragraph over and over, but that one little tip has really helped save me time and aided my comprehension of the subject.
