1.) Build a habit of reading. 2.) For reading comprehension - read a summary, wikipedia, watch a YouTube lecture or podcast by the author about the book. 3.) Scan and skim the book before you read. 4.) Highlight then take notes - don't just read to have read but read to learn. 5.) Feel free to pause a book to pick up another or to quit a book. 6.) Rereading is the best reading! read your favourite book again.
