How To Read a Book You Hate But Have To Finish

[Movingwiththemusic]

Step one: watch the movie

[Evilquiz99]

Wait how is it that 20% of americans read under a 5th grade level when the literacy rate is 97%?

[Jolasveininn]

How do you know wich level you read at?

[MaRaTheMeyvn]

I should be reading a book I got for Christmas 'cuz a friend of mine forced me to read it even though I don't want to.

Got an idea what book it is?

Yes... Twilight...

[chocoholic031]

how do you know what grade level you're reading at?

[fgd49v2]

@chocoholic031 they test you

[CutieGirl613]

in 1st grade i was reading at a 7.2 grade level :o

[ChippingCarp825]

I was in third grade and already read at a 12.5 grade level.

[aglover360]

"Most adults read at a 5th grade or below reading level" Well I'm not even an adult, and I read at a 10th grade level.

[rainbowsoup8]

i love how everyone complains about ads on youtube but i always go on youtube on my ipod so no ads! :D yay!

[missdoglady101]

5th grade level!! Psh, I read much higher than that :P

[romanphoenix999]

20minutes????? lol

[dinahmanatee]

I'm a fifth grader and I read at a college level! I think that adults that read under an eighth grade level are very illiterate. Most people do not read for euphoric reasons, or for religious,or for educational reasons either! I'm just being reasonable here. If you saw an adult reading a Dr.Seuss book,that were not trying to occupy thier kids, what would you think? Cheers, Dinahmanatee

[xXSofaKingBeastXx]

@dinahmanatee too bad your writing isn't college level..

[xPSRiSe]

@dinahmanatee >very illiterate

why do i not believe you....

[PhantomAssassin7]

Thumbs Up if GIHS sent you here!

[Peaper100]

howcast is really running out of ideas!XD

[LuvMusicPeace]

I'm only watching this to complete a book for a history assignment

[serenamusic21]

Oh holy shit on a shit, why the hell didn't I watch this before 6th grade? Thanks for the tips! :)

[supersaiyangoku11219]

Or u could use SparkNotes!

[RandomCupcake321]

There's no way that book is only 207 pages long. It looks like a fxcking brick.

[MrShadowSpirit]

well there always spark notes...

[Funland1349]

did he really write a note to look up the word ''of''

[eric549recon]

To kill a mockingbird

[IReallyCantPickAName]

thumbs up if you have to finish a school book =_=

[softball4life038]

im pretty sure im reading the same book you are reading in the video hahah.

[FrederikBosch]

Usually when you dont like a book, you dont want to plan your whole day or week around it.

[AnnisaPark00]

I have to do math to do reading?!?!

[xMewWinx96x]

I'm in the 9th grade and I read at a second grade level. Is that bad?

[mwginger]

Lol I'm in fifth grade and I read at an adult reading level

[kian2attari]

Remember the Old youtube? Where you could rate? Where there was no advertisements at the bottom of the video?  Where you could see how long the videos were before you click on them so you wouldn't waste your time clicking on fake videos? Where advertisements won't come in the video? We want the old youtube back Copy and paste this to videos lets start a youtube riot Thumbs up to keep it at the top of the page Origionaly started by kian2attari

[TheChippy575]

@kian2attari do u want a frickin medal?

[ConorMaynard1108]

@twilightfan08291 twilight isn't exactly high school reading level btw so expect to fail English >.>

[TheAwesomeBunny1]

I have to read Old Yeller. :(

[JapaneseAnya]

I have to read Les Miserables in 5 days...and the book is in french... At least is 300 pages long >.> This is soo boring and soo hard to read D: God help me!

[twilightfan08291]

[Bumperpegasus]

@twilightfan08291

Are we supposed to think you are special now or anything?

Because most people don't give a crap about your readingskill

[bigyellowbanana123]

@twilightfan08291 twilight ins't 9th grade literature btw >_>

[Alphaloba]

@16kinyo you are definitly a shit stain, with a mouth to speak. Just saying...

[End0ftheIine]

Yep that how you do it but instead you read it the light the book on fire then hate it

[DaveWreckingCrew]

Step 1: Read it.

Step 2: Hate it.

[xxTriiCkShOtZz]

[megadaredevil15]

Homework

[pendragonmalasia]

"look up word" Arrow points to of. -.-

[TheSynysterVyrus]

Optional: The will to live.

[MrButterfingaz]

its called sparknotes GOOGLE IT!!!!!!!!

[43Jodo]

Will you fucking idiots shut up about Mandy? Her point gets across, it's sad that so many adults aren't literate. I don't think she's bragging about the reading level, just stating a fact.

Now, here come the hate comments.....

[gueren717]

that 20 percent would prolly be the people who didnt go to school, got kicked out, or is just a red neck to cool for school

[animamoongirl]

ok, now tell me how to do math i hate.. but have to finish to read a book i dont want to finish... life is sooo confusing...

[asianboi335]

UMMMM thats why i read manga!! X D

[calsonicboom]

Thumbs up if you should be reading a book...

[MandyMaeGirl]

@Singamajigfan200 nope never read it or heard of it!

[bltsdsubbie]

With me, it's usually the other way around. Most of the time, I can't put a book down! One time I couldn't sleep because I loved a book so much, I ended up reading from 1 AM until it was time to get up at 8 AM. I got 0 hours of sleep that night.To answer your question, yes, I am a giant nerd.

[Mxteries]

@bltsdsubbie Erm yeah try to do something like that for books like Gone with the Wind... it's suppose to be for boring books not good books

[LadyScumBag10]

@bltsdsubbie I hear you my spinebreaking, book lover from another mother! Power to the nerds!

[xJeNitExD]

@bltsdsubbie I am like that with Harry Potter! I am a Harry Potter addict . Im back at the 1st one

[xImmortalDarknessx]

@bltsdsubbie I'm just like you. If I start a book; I won't stop till I finish. And I finish them pretty fast too. BUT. There are some books that are dreadfully boring, badly written and not the genre I'd chose. But my Teachers give it to me to read. I wouldn't be here if my country let us read books like 'The Great Gatsby" and "Animal Farm'..But they don't :(

[LuvMusicPeace]

@bltsdsubbie so am I but some times I can't stand a book it's so boring

[chocoholic031]

@bltsdsubbie woah.. that sounds like me! :D i bought the hunger games after school and the moment i got home i jumped on my bed and started reading til it was 7:40 am and it was time to get up for school. i finished it after 3 nights.

[chainedblood2112]

[bltsdsubbie]

WTF? I read at a 5th grade level in 3rd grade!

[bombergirl716]

this is alot of math for reading

[XsoftOfficial]

This will not work for Twilight. Trust me, I've banged my head on my desk 5 milion times since this video.

[NerdySoup]

@XsoftOfficial That's how it is with Twilight. You are either in love with the series or you hate it to death.

[Junjie890]

0:29 YOU HAVE SCREWD ME YOU KNOW BECAUSE you have already read one page,

[OMRELIUJ]

That is not a tip, it is being responsible. I do that at university

[Hexumus]

Skip every other sentence. It may sound stupid but every book has the same pattern. They all have a sentence then a detail sentence then a sentence and so on. Except the the bible...but I'm Jewish!!! F*** YEA!

[gameklaas]

...-_____- JUST FUCKING READ THE BOOK ALREADY

[videogamenostalgia]

Trying to do this with Twilight is comparable to the trials of Heracles...

[MrNinja290]

step 1: flip through the pages slowly :D

[tokenrow669]

say all you want about mexicans but whos gonna be the ones with the most population in u.s?

[FrozenRidley]

@16kinyo Are you retarded? There's a mexican kid in my class who is doing amazing in school IMO. Your a fucking moron for thinking someone is an illegal alien just because they're mexican.

[awesomenessx4]

@FrozenRidley i know

[awesomenessx4]

@FrozenRidley i know thats why i blocked him and lol what does he expect im in elementary

[16kinyo]

It's because most of them are mexican.

[awesomenessx4]

@16kinyo well explain this.. im a mexican in elementary school and i can read in a high school level

[16kinyo]

@awesomenessx4 Its the illegal mexican adults. You were just a lucky beaner who made it over, and i am sure you are just lying.

[awesomenessx4]

@16kinyo nope best in my grade and my parents are not in the illegal pack

[16kinyo]

@awesomenessx4 Shut up you lower class beaner!

[awesomenessx4]

@16kinyo never

and im guessing you dont know that mexicans WITH passports can come

[16kinyo]

@awesomenessx4 te gusta DICK, and I told you to shut up. Illegal piece of shit!

[Alphaloba]

@16kinyo and what are you? and American...if i am correct, it said most Americans, now not to put down Americans because i have known pretty smart, polite individuals, But you just proved the statement made at the end of the video by your ignorance. Good for you American!

[16kinyo]

@Alphaloba you smart very.................. not. I said shut up! Mexicans are in the same class as apes and they look like them too.

[somethingstupid999]

[xPr3CiiSii0nZz]

[Unhuman6]

lol I could read at a 5th grade level in 1st grade, but my mom was a literary nazi who made me learn how to read at 3 and copy the alphabet until I got it absolutely perfect.

[MandyMaeGirl]

the did you know at the end is just sad.. when i was in 5th grade i read at a 9th grade reading level....

[nightwishfan06]

@MandyMaeGirl omg me too *high five for weirdly advanced reading nerds* :P

[maplecookie66]

@MandyMaeGirl lol in grade 1 my teacher had to get me JUST me books from other classrooms cuz i read at a 2nd and 3rd grade lvl 2nd grade i read at a gr 3 and 4 lvl XD

[ItalianBandit]

@MandyMaeGirl great, since your so talented, why don't you cure cancer...

aka: keep your praises to yourself. They can be insulting to others.

[MandyMaeGirl]

@ItalianBandit It wasn't meant to be insulting at all, I was giving an example of why i thought the "Did you know" was sad

[hobo12381]

@MandyMaeGirl im in fricken fourth grade i read at 9.6 owned

[snickerzeefull]

@hobo12381 then i guess u need to delete your account if ur not 18

[hobo12381]

@snickerzeefull um dude you only have to be 13 to have an acount and my this is my bros acount and hes 16

[lawliman15]

[MandyMaeGirl]

@kxishi i wasn't showing off, yes i could understand it

[SharpBladeZzz]

wow i wanted to finish a book not multiply

[drmayo65]

Why not just stop being a pussy and get it done with.

[MrCalvin59]

why not just google a summary???

[ModernAirsoft1]

i just pump up the volume on my ipod and i finish in no time ;D

[maiden666ization]

or just wikipedia the story line.... its what i do for school....

[A4L1000]

Where can I buy a deadline?

[URBANsaboROUND]

or watch the movie, if you have the option... then again it may not be correct so that last sentence was false... failed paradox

[penguinz204]

I'm 7 and every time I open a chapter book I see how meny pages the chapter have then I start reading

[wiirocksgh]

Im in 5th grad and i read 9th grade books

[skiracer110]

@wiirocksgh Yeah.....So?

[cowonabun]

@wiirocksgh BRO YOU'RE SO COOL!

[ArrowBuddies]

@wiirocksgh Riveting tale old chap.

[Naruchu120]

Step 1: Read the god damn book

[Goseango999]

@Naruchu120 4real!! I agree with ya there

[nintwiggy6491]

lmao ....All these comments you people leave are cracking me up..=]

[Muckilove]

Step1: Google the summary.

Step 2: Read that instead.

[italmia]

people telling readers to write in books have a secret agenda. When the book is handwritten you cannot sell it. A book has valuable information and you read it for this reason. No need to underline or write on margins. So many mor-ons these days.

[TheXANGELOFDEATHX]

This is what i do:

1. Pick up the book

2. See how long it is

3. Read the back

4. Open it and read the first sentence

5. Notice that its gonna take me forever, put it down, and look for summaries on the internet. :D

[XNeonxNanoX]

Step 1: Go to Sparknotes and read the one on your book

Step 2: Write it down and turn it in.

[328Amyrose]

Nod to the  HDTV the ice and the world!!!!

IM SOO BORED!!!!!!!

[GeekyGirl1011]

30 times by 278 divided by 5 equals 166.8 WTF I CAN'T DO THAT :S

[Dlord007]

@GeekyGirl1011 3 hours a day.... doable.

[Nassaka123]

step 1: fuck it.... im going to sparknotes

[JizztasticMan]

lrn2sparknotes

[salerio11]

that was helpful indeed, thank you.

[BOOPALOPPA]

ugh 2 books each week for 7 weeks... i think i procrastined too much

[dannyville211]

the last: "did you know" just indirectly proved that Americans are dumb as shit. lmfao

[TheSludgeFuck]

@dannyville211 Why haven't you been On since Osama Bin Ladin Was killed?

DOHOHOHOHOHHOHO SHIT.

[dannyville211]

@TheSludgeFuck oh i'm sorry i insulted Americans. I guess i live in america so that proved i'm in American. I mean caucasion btw. Yes. Caucasions are too dumb, but don't worry you're not the dumbest! Mexicans come first!

[TheSludgeFuck]

@dannyville211 It was just a joke! :D I was being a douchebag HURRHURR IM AMAZING. George lopez came first? I was not aware.

[nightwishfan06]

@dannyville211 hahahha ikr!

[superawesomesuperkid]

@dannyville211 Only proves 20% are dumb as shit.

[BloodudeXD]

@dannyville211 Or it means our fifth graders are a lot smarter than you...

[dannyville211]

@BloodudeXD uMad bro?

[neovenator44]

@dannyville211 did you even know the americans have got the lowest average IQ well compared to europe and asia, look it up :p

[dannyville211]

@neovenator44 yes i know. All they care about is sex and dick size. Lmao.

[Carthaginianassualt]

@neovenator44 No, thats incorrect. The average IQ in the US is 98, same a France, and two points behind the UK, a difference so small that it doesn't matter. Countries below the US include Russia, Ireland, Greece, Portugal, Canada,and Finland, of course there are alot more below ths US than what I listed but you can look those up if you really care about knowing. Overall the US is ranked twenty-third in the world and only 4 points away from Austria the highest Europian country.

[neovenator44]

@Carthaginianassualt perdurabo10.tripod(dot)com/id1­048(dot)html

there you go ...

[Carthaginianassualt]

@neovenator44

"Sorry, but the page or the file that you’re

looking for is not here"

Give me actual statistics and URLs that exist.

[neovenator44]

@Carthaginianassualt retard.... you can not post URL's on youtube i guess you're american? haha just search in google "americans have the lowest average IQ".

[Carthaginianassualt]

@neovenator44 Go ahead and insult me but you still have yet to give me actual statistics. The numbers I have were listed by multiple sources, and that tends to point to accurate information. And don't you think a result for "americans have to lowest avergae IQ" have some bias clouding the numbers?

[neovenator44]

@Carthaginianassualt i am done with this conversation i've seen the statistics myself thats enough for me.

[Carthaginianassualt]

@neovenator44 Fine, just don't call over 300 million people stupid if you aren't going to back it up.

[lollieserendipitie]

@neovenator44 I have this weird feeling that you're a douche bag. :D My IQ is over 140 (genius level in case you're a bit too dim to know) and I'm American. I'm assuming you're not American, or just really not patriotic at all. If you don't want to be here, then get out. None of us want you either. Crawl over to some "smart" country and see if they think any different of you.

[AtomicPoP321]

@lollieserendipitie IQ and the things you learn whilst at school, such as reading and understanding text are different types of smart. Just because you have a high IQ does not necessarily mean you are academically smart.

[zangestu125]

@lollieserendipitie americans have the lowest IQ's you just forgot to count the dead people and homeless :D

[InvadderZim]

@dannyville211 thats just L.A. and the south

[crazyulah]

now i know whre are you smarter than a 5th grader cam from

[cheer56781]

yeah its harder for me 2 concentrate at LEAST 20 mins cuz i hav ADHD soooo....

[neilhd100]

1:14 That's kind of sad i'm already in 5th grade. :[
