How to Always Succeed in School part 4



Read. You can read whatever you want: Sports, Illustrated, Jet, and The New York Times, comic books, the holy bible, your Cheerios box, online blogs or web articles… whatever! Reading increases your brain power.

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

o   Read assignment questions first to help you identify key points.

o   Take breaks from reading to write down what you learn.

o   Read outside of class to improve your reading skills. 

o   Read out loud with your friends, classmates or parents.

o   Read with a purpose

o   Take reading courses to improve your reading rate and comprehension

o   Take a speed-reading course if you desire

o   Take notes while reading

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

o   Read religious literature

o   Read from the internet.

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