Tips for Reading Faster
- Always have books for pleasure. If you're not interested in what you're reading you ultimately won't read at all.
- It's okay not to finish reading your books and switch them. Remember the more books you read, the more fluency you'll have, and the greater the enjoyment of reading leads to being able to read harder books
- Build up your foundation first; both on the knowledge of the topic and of the words used. It's okay to take your time reading.
- Build up to harder books when you get the hang of it.

Put the book down
The real cause of reading too few books is that you don't enjoy it enough.
