Wow.

I appreciate all the effort you put into this video.

I like the analogy that you used; I will always remember this video now as I read my chemistry textbook (book/subject I don't want to read).

THANKS

Great advice , why not try reading with an electronic reading device Kindle ......

Great video! It's a great way to encourage kids and help them understand their book better. I fell asleep reading at night too! So I will make sure I sit up and keep my feet down.

Thank you for this advice. I'm reading Tom Sawyer right now and it's due in a week. I have no idea why it has stayed in circulation as long as it has. It's scattered, and has no plot; the characters are two-dimensional and boring. I love to read, usually, and classics are usually my favorites but... Ugh. However I will try to follow this advice.

Well, Ive never had problems with reading a book and Ive already known those hints, but I must say, the similarity with the tree was really cool idea!

I love this video. It is so true.

I'm going to try these tricks. My BIG problem is I ALWAYS get tired and even fall asleep while reading. After reading for a short time the words start blending together and it seems as though I'm just reading the words with no meaning behind them. I'm going to start taking notes and reading with a brighter light...maybe that will help. Thank you :)

[jessepoo4ya]

I have never thought of it this way before. Thank you very much!

[jagsman52]

This video really did help me read a book for a report! Thanks!

Great video Jim and terrific ideas yeah :)

[bendavis575]

Thank you so much! After watching this video, I achieved a new level of focus as I read the Iliad within my time limit.

Love the narrator, he's got the tone just right, not too academic or condescending but neither does he sound like a fool!

Jim,

I just wanted to say thank you for your book, The Read-Aloud Handbook. It's one of the best non-fiction books I have ever read. Because of your selfless writing my wife and I read prolifically to our now five-year-old daughter and going into Kindergarten this fall she is a fluent reader. While that's nice, more importantly we wouldn't trade the time we've spent reading to her (read: being with her) for anything. The thoughts in your book helped make that a reality. Thank you very much.
