How can I motivate myself to read

By picking up a book?

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 make key/importance areas of the book.

It's hard to keep focus though lol

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 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.

Thanks, my teacher sucks and history is AIDS lol

haha, History can be annoying at times but it gets better once you find a technique that works for you
