I do English lit and history and I need to read set texts , secondary sources and history books. How can I start doing this before it is too late because I know doing a lot of reading will push my grades even further.
With History, when you get a book just read the chapters that are relevant to what you are doing in class so you're doing it bit by bit. That way, you get to keep your sanity. Use those small postit note tab things to keep a note of key/importance areas of the book.

To be fair, I haven't actually read a whole book for History My teacher gives us relevant excerpts so that's all I use. She does give us quite a lot which makes things so much easier for us
Maybe photocopy a chapter so you don't have the whole book and then highlight as you go along? And then keep repeating this? Environment-conscious people will get angry at you for wasting paper but oh well lol

i wouldn't worry to much but setting an end goal ( university or getting a good grade) may help you. also set a date in your calendar spending a day looking at texts while your phone is switched off
Setting a time (before bed, in the bath) to read, and sticking to it. And actually being interested (or convincing yourself that you are) really helps. If you need to annotate/make notes, keep them all in one place
