To some people, reading is simple. They put a book in front of them and hours later it will be finished. To others, not really. The words in the book are extremely difficult to read and will often give them a headache. Reading is an essential component in academics and entertainment. Here are some tips that could help people enjoy reading.
Choose the “right” level of books
It is undeniable that some books are filled with jargon. If the book’s level of vocabulary is too advanced, it is completely okay to read something else. Choose the books where advanced vocabulary will emerge occasionally, and it will be easier to absorb those knowledges. Annotations are a great way for memorizing new vocabulary and people will start to use them as well. A simple reading book can make people read incessantly and not get stuck with some vocabulary and difficult concepts as much as a book that may be too advanced for now.
The “right” way for accessing a book
People can be exhausted extremely easily if they just squint their eye and skim through a book. There are many ways to read a book, and some of them aren’t “reading”. For instance, audio book. Many audio books have free access, Hoopla which requires a library card, is great resource.
Other ways people can read it can be reading it out loud, using eBooks. Of course, always keep a book with you so you can read it any time you would prefer. It can be in the backpack or digital books. If you still do not enjoy the book even with all the ways above, it is alright to stop reading it if it’s optional. If it is required, try to only use audiobook and purely listens.
A location for reading
Reading books requires people to focus for quite a while. In order for a person to be concentrated, it is best if they are somewhere quiet and organized. For example, in the library or on a soft couch. Of course, the environment preference varies for everyone. At public areas, it is simple to get some food, eating food while reading will bring up the dopamine which the brain would think the people actually enjoys reading.
Find someone who is passionate about reading

In addition, it motivates people as they have someone to do something together with. They can hang out by reading together, people will have a friend to read with.
Form a habit of reading
It is not simple to read, especially when you don’t like it. Try to start to form a habit. Set a specific time every day that you could squeeze in, sometimes reading, like half ten minutes before bedtime. In the beginning it might be difficult to get used to it, but after a week, it will be much simpler. Then, the ten minutes can increase to half an hour, or even an hour someday. Reward yourself once you are following the habit for a long time. Something that is not related to electronics, like a walk outside or your favorite food.
