Out-of-Shape Readers: Improve your reading fitness.
written by Lucy Ninko
Reading is like running 🏃🏾♂️- if you don’t do it often, your stamina will decrease!
Global pandemic + summer slide = out-of-shape readers.
Follow these tips to get your brain back in shape for the start of school:
✔️Learn about your reading habits and interests. If you’re interested in what you are reading, you’re more likely to continue.
✔️Designate time to read every day. Allow your habits to become routine! Stamina is built by increasing the amount of time you read each day.
✔️Ask LOTS of questions. Comprehension skills are sharpened by discussing what is happening in a book or article, making inferences, and reflecting on how the reading relates to you.
✔️Set goals and track progress. Seeing your success will motivate you to continue teaching towards harder goals.
We’re all in this together. While these are tips for students, educators and parents should be encouraging these practices on a daily basis! Happy reading! 📚
