How to Always Succeed in School

Part 4

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 word 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 a purpose
·        Take reading courses to improve your reading rate and comprehension.
·        Take a speed-reading course if you desire
·        Take notes while reading.
·        When possible, read from your own books and materials; this way, you can mark, highlight, cross reference, write notes in the 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.
