  In the modern age of information, reading is a fundamental survival skill. Here are some tips on how to improve reading skills.

                    6 Tips to Improve Reading Skills

1. You don't need to read everything.

Not every magazine, letter, and email you receive contains information you need. In fact, most of it is simply junk. Throw it away, hit the delete key! Just doing this will double the amount of time you have available to read.

2. You don't need to read all of what you do read.

Do you read every article of every magazine, every chapter of every book? If so, you're probably spending a lot of time reading stuff you don't need.

Be choosy: select the chapters and articles that are important. Ignore the rest.

3. Scan before you read.

Look at the table of contents, index, topic headers, photo captions, etc. These will help you determine if, a) you have a real interest in this reading, and b) what information you're likely to get from it.

4. Focus.

Remember, you're reading with a purpose, so focus on that purpose and the material. If you lose interest or keep losing your place, take a break or read something else. You can keep track of where you are by following along with your finger. This simple technique helps you focus and increase your concentration.

5. Practice.

The more you read, the better reader you'll become (and smarter, too)! So, feed your mind: read!

6. Optimize your reading environment.

You'll read faster and comprehend more if you read in an environment that's comfortable for you.
