Tips to help read with ADHD
Here are some tips that can help you focus better while reading with ADHD:
- Read to learn, not to finish. Reading is about learning something and being able to use it to benefit yourself and those around you.
- Highlight or underline any passages in a book that stands out to you.
- If you don’t know the meaning of a word, look it up.
- Reduce distractions by finding a quiet place to read or using white noise if you need it.
- Take breaks during reading sessions to beat time management and focus challenges.
- Consider active reading by asking questions while reading and taking notes.
- Read aloud instead of silently as this may help you focus on each word.
- Walk or pace around while you read to avoid zoning out or focusing on internal distractions.
- Use audiobooks or text-to-speech software if you find it difficult to read.
I hope these tips help you focus better while reading with ADHD!
