How To Develop Your Reading Habit by Chidexter(m): 9:06am On Sep 29, 2014
There are some people who like reading as a habit, and there are somepeople who only read because they’re told to. There is another kind of person who wants to make reading a habit, butjust can't do it. Well, here’s a way to start developing your reading habit and make you a true book lover!

Pick Up A Book.

If you are nowhere near a book, how are you supposed to read? Try finding something to read. That can beanything, including newspapers, magazines, novels etc. The important thing is that the book you choose should be at your level and its something you have interest in. Don’t choose a book too high for your level because it will just waste your time.

Practice

Now that you have found what you like to read, you can set a goal of 15 minutes a day of reading. During this time, you’re not supposed to care about anything except your reading. After 15 minutes,you can close your reading material and do something else. Practice this every day. Make it a habit. After you have gotten used to this habit, you can increase the timeyou need to read in a day to 20 or 30 minutes.

Don't Give Up

If you find that you cannot complete the task in the first place, don't be frustrated and hold your chin up! Remember, winners never quit! and You just have to try again and again until you achieve it.

Don't Put too much Pressure on Yourself

This is very important, If you find yourself being stressed while reading a book, don’t continue reading under pressure like that. Reading is for pleasure, not pressure, so don’t push yourself too hard until you might quit reading forever, or even if you can read, the outcome won’t be so good either.

Before you Start Reading, Browse the Table of Contents

In story books or fictional books, there will usually be a short description at theback. You can look at the description to get a better idea of the book's contents.

Always remember that practice makes perfect

Good read.

I'm just being lazy on reading hard copy texts, and I really have one I need to finish up ASAP.
