Read: you can read whatever you want: Sports illustrated, Jet, The New York Times, comic books, the Holy Bible, your Cheerios box, online blogs or web articles…. Whatever! Reading increases your brainpower.

 

·         Look up words you don’t understand in the dictionary.

·         Read assignment questions first to help you identify key points

·         Take breaks from reading to write down what you learn

·         Read outside of class to improve your reading skills

·         Read out loud with your friends, classmates or parents

·         Read with purpose

·         Take reading courses to improve your reading rate and comprehension

·         Take notes while reading

·         When possible, read from your own books and materials; this way you can mark, highlight, cross reference, write notes in margins, etc. If the books belong to someone else or the library, you can’t do this

·         Read religious literature

·         Read from the Internet

·         Read daily. Set a goal to read a book at least each month. Then a book a week.
