What alevels shall I do?

I am taking double BTEC performing arts and need something to alongside at my sixthform. I enjoy both photography and English lit. These were my highes grades (7) and 4s in everything else. I was predicted to fail all my exams so I never thought of sixthform. I really want to take English lit. However I struggle with my attention span. I find it really hard to focus. This interferes with reading. I can often listen to audio books and watch films,plays. This is a technique I used during my GCSES. I knew all my texts inside and out and even annotated the copies. But I never sat down and just read it. We read in class but I never read independently. With alevels I know there is a lot more independence. Over the summer to get a head-start I have ‘read’ the great gatsby. This includes watching both films and have just got up to annotating the fourth chapter based of other annotations online and what I resonate with. However stereotypically your English student is somebody who loves to read for pleasure, sits and reads often. This is not me. Only once or twice I have read short books or listened to audio books. Should I take a-level literature even though I struggle to read? I just want to fit in. I am really excited around the subject. I actually write poetry and loved annotating and reading it. So that is not element I would struggle with. I also love reading plays as a drama student. It makes things easier to me when I know whose saying and doing what. I know immediately your thinking she can’t read no pick photography! But I feel that academic subjects are for everyone and not just readers. I don’t want to miss out just because of what’s wrong with me. But if anybody did have any tips on how to focus, read for pleasure and immerse my self into literature let me know. I broke the barrier in english GCSE of not being able. I do want to be a better student and improve myself . If anybody has any advice on how to read better please let me know. And does anybody have any friends who take lit when they do not read for pleasure? Thanks x
