I cant get myself to read my college textbook, what can I do?

Question

Every time I open my textbook I read one page then close it help

Answer 1

Try to read loud. It really helps!!!! I had the same problem when I tried to read the book of one my humanity classes. I just can't read the frea.. book but what I did was I read loud and then tried to explain what I already read. Even that I look and sound crazy I don't regret using this method because it really helped me!

Good Luck

Answer 2

A couple of things that I find help are:

1) Try picking up a different book on the same subject - different authors have different styles and some are more readable than others - a good author should be engaging. This one has helped me out quite a few times.

2) Set yourself achievable targets and record your progress - e.g. set yourself a manageable weekly target - recording your progress on a spreadsheet helps keep you motivated and on track

Answer 3

Turn off all distractions(ex:ipod,tv,computer, maybe phone). Sit down. don't get distracted. read,

Answer 4

it helps if your in a comfortable place while reading like in bed. and sometimes if you chew gum it helps you focus to get your mind off things.

Answer 5

You need to relax. Make sure you're in a room free of all distractions.
