Help! I need to boost my vocab and become a faster, better reader by January!?

Question

I have already started becoming a avid reader.What else do you advice me to do? Websites and book referrals are welcome.Thanks!

Answer 1

Crossword puzzles are an excellent way to increase your vocabulary.  Since you are already an avid reader, stretch yourself by reading different genres, as well.

Answer 2

I made my daughter watch TV with the closed captioning on for one hour every day.  

She had to read her TV and you will finally know what Boomhauer (king of the hill) is saying.

They used to have a channel where the news scrolled - that is a perfect way to read and comprehend as well and if you need to pace a speech it is the perfect speed.

Get busy with crossword puzzles a very good way to increase vocabulary.  

Find an online dictionary and get busy there - usually looking up one word leads to another- pay attention to roots and origins because that will help you begin to understand other words.  

Get in the habit as soon as you don't understand a word - look it up.
