Tips For Reading With ADHD

Tips for Reading with ADHD

(or without ADHD, if they help regardless)

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

With the debt still unpaid, Leila finds herself working for James until it’s cleared but working for the most dangerous man in New York is not as easy as it seems, and she hopes to escape before it’s too late.

I stare into the huge fridge, my eyes glancing over everything inside. There are meats stacked to the heavens, an array of cheeses, some of which I’ve never even heard of. There were at least two shelves stacked with beer, another shelf with a variety of vegetables and fruits. On the door there were bottles of milk, orange juice, cranberry juice. There were the basic things such as eggs, butter, lard, and different condiments at the back of the fridge.
