Day 22

Today I am grateful for the basics they taught you probably in Kindergarten because reading is fundamental.  This is probably really corny but I sat down and started reading for class but my mind would begin to drift, I’d start daydreaming, I’d get up to get something to eat, or wanna check my email real quick, etc.  I was constantly distracted and had only read maybe a paragraph or two.  Tired of wasting time reading but not reading, I decided to do what most people hate; I started reading out loud.  For some reason, this has always worked for me.  I remember what I’ve or am reading, I am less distracted, and the topic suddenly seems interesting.  I read out loud for the entire chapter while highlighting key points and before I knew it I had made some real progress so here’s to not following the accepted “read to yourself” idea.  Here’s to reading out loud for the sake of reading comprehension.
