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 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 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 book belongs 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.
