Why is reading important? reading helps a person to improve his vocabulary skills ,imaginary skills and also increases the concentration .now, how do I make reading a habit when I have no past experience in reading a book or any other huge form of text?
Here are my five tips to make reading your habit :
1.Choose the genre:
choosing your favorite genre helps you to connect to the story or situation being portrayed . So, choose a genre that would keep you hooked to the book/any other reading material while you read.
2.Go easy:
it is always preferred a fictional book than a non-fiction book when you start reading for the first time .Once you get used to sitting long hours in completing a fictional book then you can start with non-fictional ones to improve yourself!
3.set target:
initially when u start off ,u need motivation to read right? so. You can always set a target like one chapter one day ,so that it makes you strive to complete that 1 chapter on the first day ,which you yourself would increase eventually.
4.make time:
I personally have heard people say they don't find time to read books .The problem is they do have time ,but they just don't know to make time for a book . Make a schedule for the day beforehand and try to spend your leisure time by reading a book! or you can read a book before you go to bed.. this not only makes you better at reading but also helps you to reduce your screen time. It would be tough in the beginning to spend your leisure time to read a book but eventually you'll end up reading for long hours than expected once you get involved with the plot!
5.less page more motivation:
This is completely from my own experience . Initially when I started reading the number of books I completed in a month turned out to be a huge motivation for me to read more .So the trick is ,start reading a book that has less number of pages at first . if you start with books with more than 600 pages at beginning itself, then you would find it tough to even complete the book. Once you start completing books, you get this self containment which turns out to be a huge motivation!
i will post about my book recommendations soon!
hope this helps! happy reading!
