• Answer #1

  You can try to look over it several times and you will be reading fast but as you go back you will be getting into the book more and more as you understand it. If you don't want that the best thing that you can do is to read at your own speed, because if you want to get a book, you have to make sure that you are doing it your own way. Sometimes it could be the place that you are is not make you concentrate as much, so maybe you can try to go to a more quite place, you can try to put away cellphones, grab your i-pod if you need to, and turn off computer and the t.v. and stuff and concentrate only on reading?

• Answer #2

  For me it has just been practice. In reading and langue skills I was always behind my grade, but in 4th grade I started picking up fantasy books and reading them. At first it was slow and painful - wasn't until 7th grade that I caught up to the rest of my class in reading and langue skills :P. But now I'm almost addicted to reading and go through ~800pg fantasy books on a weekly basis, just reading them in my spare time (15min breaks & lunch breaks at work, waiting in line, and a bit before I go to sleep each night).
