You get distracted quite often while reading? 
You're not worse we have all been in that shoe but probably some people fought it and gained freedom. You can fight out of it as well. 

Firstly, let know what reading is all about.
According to the New English Dictionary, it is the cognitive process of understanding a written linguistic message. 

Reading is simply a mental interpretation of a written material. It has do with the understanding of symbols, letters or numerals, etc.

Reading is the basic secret to academic excellence that every student needs to nurture and develop.

Main Reasons why Students  Easily Get Bored Reading.  

Now, lets look at some of the reasons students battle with reading. Basically why its been a stressful thing rather than an enjoyable activity. 

These are some of core reasons why students get bored reading:

• Interest
• Attention span
• Vocabulary
• Reading mindset 

INTEREST: Interest is what sustains a readers attention. When a person isn't curious about a book, he/she would definitely not find it worth reading. lack of passion is one factor that kills reading enthusiasm. You can develop the habit of reading when you first nurture your interest for it. Interest can be built out of mind- conditioning. 

You're not forcing yourself; you're only conditioning it to behave a certain good way.

ATTENTION SPAN: This is the period of elastic time a person can stay at something without getting distracted. This can be quantified with listening. A five -minute listener would sometimes end up a five-minute reader.

You can watch how you devotedly work out your day-to-day jobs. Yes! Because that could sometimes affect how you also devote to book materials. Do not worry; attention span can be worked on. We'll discuss about it later in this article.

LOW VOCABULARY: This is one of the basic factors affecting readers. Vocabulary means the range of words that a reader is acquainted with. If you battle with understanding a lot of words, it makes the reading boring and not interesting to keep on with it. A person might not be used to all the English words but some basic words are required for good reading comprehension. 

POOR READING MINDSET: Most students struggle with reading because they limit themselves. They believe that reading is best for exams, it affects them to an extent that they literally dont love reading except at the mercy of these strategic periods in school.

Students who feel that the time they spend in ready is wasted because they dont usually understand a single point will associate that mindset with book materials and wont want more trials.

WAYS YOU CAN IMPROVE ON YOUR READING SKILLS.

Reading is a skill just as the other communicating skills in English (listening, writing and speaking). 

Every student who wants to excel in his academics must build up a good reading skill for himself. However, it can be built and developed depending on the willingness of such student.

Here are some techniques that can help improve your reading skills. 

• Wide range of vocabulary: Learn new set of words every day. Definitely, you come across many words every single time you browse the internet and social media plat forms, learn them as often as you can. Get yourself a vocabulary notebook where you jote down all the new words you have learned with their meanings. The onus on you is to grab the note every morning and evening, reflecting on them so it gets stick to the mind. Use the words in your daily interactions with friends. 

• Build your interest by consistently reading book materials. Dont wait until when you are told by a teacher to. you can own your decide to make a habit reading documentaries, short novels, editorials. Pay the price it will take you for consistency and devotions. 

• Avoid distractions by staying in a convenient environment best for you. Some students are good reading in places where there is less noise others aint. In this case, you need to identify for yourself the environment suitable for you and maximize it.
