How do I get back into reading for school?

Question

Okay, so i spent my summer playing video games and everytime I see a book I am like... Maybe tomorrow i will get back into it. So, is there any tips or tricks that can get me back to reading?

Answer 1

This happened to me and to fix it I went to the bookstore to get a book and sat down and started reading it. I got back into reading all over again. Just convince yourself you have to and then you'll end up enjoying it.

Answer 2

I get that way sometimes too.  The easiest way I get back into reading is to set a goal for yourself.  Either by pages or time.  I find it easier to slowly get back into it by setting a specific amount of time aside each day for reading.  Try reading for 30 mins a day and reward yourself if you make it through each day.  It may be easier to do a certain time every day, like from 4-4:30 every day, you read.  Increase the time as you get back into the groove of it.  If you make it your routine and do it daily at a set time, you're more likely to stick to it.  If you don't like reading, reward yourself with video games or something AFTER you finish your reading.  Or set a certain amount of pages or chapters a day and then reward yourself after you do it.  If you don't do your reading because you don't feel like it, punish yourself with no video games or something.

just pick it up and read...start with stuff you like, like action, sci fi or whatever kind you might like...work your way to the reading you need to do...but dont take too long!

Answer 5

start reading something you like to.also start with few minutes and then gradually increase the time.

Answer 6

For one thing, I suggest reading during the day, not a night. It actually makes a big difference, if you read at night, you will get tired, fall asleep and in the morning only remember parts of what you read.

If you need to get back into books, try going to the library, and finding one that you would find /really/ interesting or fun to read. If you like it more, you'll read it more.
