APRIL 10 - 18, 2012

Sorry guys I been out of the BLOGGING world. But am back. Last time I left you guys I was wrapping up my book Free Falling. I finished that book. It was so romantic. They hated each other then in the end fell back in love with each other. After reading that book I went straight into The Child Called It. OMG. It may have been like my 5th time reading it. But I still had to cry. How could you all be reading that book. :((((((. I lost my son when he was only 3days old. Reading this book because I didn't read it since I lost my son. It made me furious at his mother. OMG. To treat a child like that you are so KILLING me inside. I MISS MY son and I will do anything to have him back. I will treat my son like hes nothing but my PRECIOUS cargo. I hate when mothers just act like there kids are just BAD kids. Well I finished that book in like 2 hours sorry everyone. I am currently reading The Lost boy and OMG again I cry every time. But its ok. I will fill you guys in more tomorrow.

love:
Keiana

10 TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR READING

In the modern age of information, reading truly is a fundamental survival skill. Here are ten tips that anyone can use to improve their reading skills:

1. You don't have to be a great reader to get the point.

Some people read fast and remember everything. Others read slowly and take a couple of times to get all the information. It doesn't matter, really, so long as when you read, you get the information you're seeking.

2. Know WHY you're reading.

Are you reading for entertainment or to learn something? Decide why you're reading before you start and you'll greatly improve your comprehension and your enjoyment.

3. You don't need to read everything.

Not every magazine, letter, and email you receive contains information you need. In fact, most of it is simply junk. Throw it away, hit the delete key! Just doing this will double the amount of time you have available to read.

4. You don't need to read all of what you DO read.

Do you read every article of every magazine, every chapter of every book? If so, you're probably spending a lot of time reading stuff you don't need.

Be choosy: select the chapters and articles that are important. Ignore the rest.

5. Scan before you read.

Look at the table of contents, index, topic headers, photo captions, etc. These will help you determine if, a) you have a real interest in this reading, and b) what information you're likely to get from it.

6. Prioritize your reading.

You can't read everything all at once (and wouldn't want to). If it's important, read it now. If it's not, let it wait.

7. Optimize your reading environment.

You'll read faster and comprehend more if you read in an environment that's comfortable for you.

8. Once you start, don't stop!

Read each item straight through. If you finish and have questions, go back and re-read the pertinent sections. If you don't have questions, you got what you needed and are ready to move on.

9. Focus.

Remember, you're reading with a purpose, so focus on that purpose and the material. If you lose interest or keep losing your place, take a break or read something else. You can keep track of where you are by following along with your hand. This simple technique helps you focus and increase your concentration.

10. Practice!

The more you read, the better reader you'll become (and smarter, too)! So, feed your mind: read!
