Read! For some, I know this is NOT your favorite thing to do. I understand that, but I need for you to take just 10-15 minutes, put the video controller down, or turn off the TV and just pick up your reading book for a short time.
If you read a little bit each day, you will get stronger in that skill. I promise. Maybe, just maybe, you might begin to like it.
