skim it :) read the first sentence or so of every paragraph and then go on to the next one. Skip entier pages if you get bored, but read every word for the interesting bits.

heh, yeah, ive had that going on. lol, you should look up what the book is about, and tell her you finally finished it, after reading 1 page every day, or something. Itd really suprise her and it would be funny.

lol, just tell her you finished it, but say you forgot what it was about, she may stop bugging you, no matter how bizarre/hilarious it sounds

lol, thats so funny. I understand the boring book part. I had to read pride and prejudice for some english class, and I couldnt bring myself to even want to do it. You can either tell your sister that or that you felt it was boring, either way she should not get mad or dislike you for it. Me and my sister are TOTALLY different, and we know that.

she better! she cant force you to read it or disown you or anything. If she gets like that, give her a book you really like but know shell hate, and tell her to read it. She should see by that point she shouldnt be mad with you or anyhting

BIRTHDAY PARTY offline Verified User (4 months, 2 weeks) Long Term User Shouts: 4 #
An Unknown Location | 4 months, 2 weeks ago (35 minutes after post)

read the letters in groups at a time! so for instance instead of reading it as
“the-cat-in-the-hat-was-very-funny”

read it was “the cat in- the hat was- very funny,haha”

also use a guide! so your finger for instance !!

and skim it before you read the book, this is a eye focus excersise,
so for e.g. take 10 seconds per page to skim over the words!

Read it non-stop taking breaks only when it’s necessary to do something.

You can read and understand any material by scanning,flipping or browsing through the pages, looking at the summary, or reading every word. Take your pick :)
