Yesterday a student approached me and explained that
he has not been able to read a book, even for pleasure, from beginning
to
end because he looses focus and starts thinking about other things.
Before
he knows it, he is reading the words, but not paying attention to the
text.
Well gosh.... I'm a grown-up, and love to read, and I do this all the
time. Seems to me this is one person who needs to read with a
notepad/journal next to him, for jotting down the *other* stuff that is
on his mind. I do this and it helps much. Whenever I start a new book,
at the very least I stick a large (4x6) post it note inside the front
cover.
Not that that will totally solve his problem, of course.... but it's
certainly one strategy for him, especially if he WANTS to read.
