#trouble reading

This can be due to two main things.

1: My boy can’t see the words. He needs reading glasses. Usually those with albinism have very bad sight. Maybe he would even need a special type of reading glasses depending on light distortion in his eyes and ocular science blah blah blah.

2: He has a very low reading level since he was put in asylum around 15. Plus a mental and very possible learning disability plays a factor...and I don’t think any doctors *cough* Jimenez *cough* gave a damn about continuing his education in the first place. So he probably has a middle or elementary school reading level and it just never got fixed.

All the same you are purchasing reading glasses for the very first split shift then it is world-shaking that you need to look into a number with respect to aspects to make your purchase easy. You committal to keep in mind that there might be a number of factors why people need scale glasses.

It is vital towards quantity and determine the type of indications that you are facing with. This shall determine the type of reading glasses you require so purchase. Prior in passage to smelting the personality you should as artificial lake endeavor and seek advice from the physician and puzzle out your eyesight faithful for numbers. Lot the correct purchase is on top of very much important. Before purchasing you might have to look into several factors. Superego certainly can try and visit inter alia the counteractive stores or conversely the internet store. <\p>

Custom blinkers are always well thought-of as best choice if him are looking for something that is tenable. Apart from this, your finances and life style also plays a teleprinter role here.

Hey love,

Of course I remember you :)

I'm so glad that you appreciated my reply, that makes me feel wonderful. Thank you.

                              Some helpful tips:

1. Pay attention when you read and read as if it really matters. Most people read in the same way that they watch television, i.e. in an inattentive, passive way. Reading takes effort and you must make the effort. A wise teacher once told me that you can learn anything if you do three things:

PAY ATTENTION

PAY ATTENTION and

PAY ATTENTION.

There are some simple methods that you can use to pay better attention and get more out of your textbook reading time. Different authors call it different things, but many researchers say that you will improve your comprehension if you somehow "preview" the passage before you actually sit down and read every word.

To do a preview you:

take 30 to 60 seconds.

look over the title of the chapter.

look at all the headings, subheadings and marked, italic or dark print.

look at any pictures or illustrations, charts or graphs.

quickly skim over the passage, reading the first and last paragraph and glancing at the first sentence of every other paragraph.

close the book and ask yourself:

---What is the main idea?

---What kind of writing is it?

---What is the author's purpose?

You might not think that you could possibly answer these questions with so little exposure to the material, but if you do the preview correctly, you should have some very good general ideas. If you have a general idea of what the passage is about before you really read it, you will be able to understand and remember the passage better.

When you finally get to the point where you are actually slowly reading the passage, read in a "questioning" manner -as if you were searching for something. It sometimes helps if you take the heading or title of a chapter and turn it into a question.

For example, if the heading of a section in the text is "The Causes of the Civil War", take that title and switch it into a question like: "What are the causes of the Civil War?". Now you have a goal; something to look for; something to find out. When you are goal-oriented, you are more likely to reach the goal. At least you'll remember one thing about the text which you have just read.

2. Stop talking to yourself when you read. People talk to themselves in 2 ways, by:

vocalizing, which is the actual moving of your lips as you read, and

sub vocalizing, which is talking to yourself in your head as you silently read.

Both of these will slow you down to the point in which you find that you can't read any faster than you can speak. Speech is a relatively slow activity; for most, the average speed is about 250 WPM (words per minute).

Reading should be an activity which involves only the eyes and the brain. Vocalization ties reading to actual speaking. Try to think of reading as if you were looking at a landscape, a panorama of ideas, rather than looking at the rocks at your feet.

3. Read in thought groups. Studies have shown that when we read, our eyes must make small stops along the line. Poor readers make many, many more fixations (eye stops) than good readers. Not only does this slow you down, but it inhibits comprehension because meaning is easier to pull from groups of words rather than from individual words or even single letters. Try to read in phrases of three or four words, especially in complete clauses and prepositional phrases. Your mind may internalize them as if the whole phrase is like one big meaning-rich word.

4. Don't keep re-reading the same phrases. Poor readers habitually read and re-read the same phrase over and over again. This habit of making "regressions" doubles or triples reading time and often does not result in better comprehension. A single careful, attentive reading may not be enough for full comprehension, but is often more effective than constant regressions in the middle of a reading. It is best to work on paying closer attention the first time through. Do a preview first before the careful reading and try the tips I mentioned above. You'll remember better without the rereading.

5. Vary your reading rate to suit the difficulty and type of writing of the text. Poor readers always read at the same slow rate. An efficient reader speeds up for easier material and slows down for the hard. Some things were not meant to be read quickly at all. Legal material and very difficult text should be read slowly. Easier material and magazines and newspapers can be read quickly. Poetry and plays were meant to be performed, and if not acted out, then at least, spoken out loud orally. This obviously will conflict with good speed reading method which forbids vocalization. Religious writings and scripture were originally written to be recited and listened to by an audience which was likely to be intelligent, but illiterate. The "fun" of poetry, plays, or prayer is not really experienced if you "speed read" the text.

Hey,

I'm 17 as well and have some troubles reading. Mostly because I don't pay attention because there are too many things going on around me. So it makes it hard for me to comprehend what I'm reading. So I understand where you're coming from.

I see this situation like a person needing glasses, You don't want to tell anyone because you fear that people will think you're looking for attention. But that's not the case at all. In 7th grade, I needed glasses. I seriously couldn't see and I was constantly being put in the back of the classroom at school so that made things worse. But you know what made things better? Speaking up and telling someone about what was going on. It helped me because I got glasses and nobody told me I was looking for attention, because I really wasn't. I just needed some help.

Since you don't know how to bring up this with your mom, I can give you somethings that I think would help your mom understand some more and give her an idea of what's going on.

Ask your mom if she would like you to read a book to her, when you're reading the book and say you get stuck, ask your mom to come over and help you understand and comprehend the book. It may also be helpful to start a reading log to help log your time and help you improve on reading.
