Physical print:
- cover the page with a piece of paper and reveal lines/paragraphs as you read them
- use a highlighter to emphasize important/interesting parts
- take notes as you go to be physically engaged with the material
Digital media:
- copy and paste the text into a doc/word processor
- change the font size/style/colour to something more legible
- make your own paragraphs and spacing
- copy and paste one paragraph at a time to isolate them from the distraction of the rest of the text
- install a browser extension like BeeLine Reader or Mercury Reader
- zoom in on the page and scroll slowly so you’re revealing lines as you read them
- physically cover the screen and reveal lines as you read them
- if you do better with physical media, print it out or find a physical copy
Both:
- read out loud
- pace, move around, or use a fidget while reading
- set a timer for 5 minutes and read in small chunks with breaks in between
- divide the material into sections and read one section at a time with breaks in between
- have another person, audio book, or text-to-speech program read it aloud as you follow along
