Improve your reading skills

Many people have trouble with reading. Reading is hard for some people and it can take time. Reading is a process of the brain where you look at symbols on a page, and your mind sees the patterns of characters and understands the meaning in them. If you develop good reading skills, it'll be very helpful to your future. Aren't your school teachers always saying 'Read more books!'? Here are a few steps and tips to get started. 
 Steps 

1.Find something to read.Examples include a children's book, a newspaper article, a short story, or something on Wikipedia.

2.Sound out each letter as best you can and you will notice they form some sort of word.Some letters fit together. For example, "th" is not pronounced as t + h, but rather as one unit. This is called a 'phoneme'.

3.Find a place to read where you can concentrate.This may be someplace secret where no one will bother you, or simply your home at a time when it is quiet. 

4.Begin your reading by looking at the pictures, or listening to the music to get a feel for what you are going to be reading about.

 5.Start with titles, names, or other larger print items that you may know or ever thought about. 

6.Read as much as you are able.When you start getting bored or need a break, take one. Reading should be fun and enjoyable, don't force it. After your break, return to where you were, and continue.

7.Reread the material.It is okay to reread something if you do not understand it fully the first time. 

8.Go to the library and pick up lots of books.Pick books depending on your readinglevel, no matter what your age.
