Can't Remember What I Just Read

Mister

I'm feeling so frustrated! I've had this problem ages. I read a page of a book, something online and by the next page I am lost can't remember what I just read. It's put me off reading to be honest. Books are not fun anymore just frustrating a constant reminder I can't read.

But why! That's what bugs me. Up until recently it wasn't a problem but now it's like its always been that way. I don't get it.

    1. put into practice writing out all your thoughts at a point during the day. Get everything out and erase nothing. 

    2. start small with reading and find a book of fiction or poetry or even a play, plan on just a paragraph or two a day. Look at a sentence and envision it. read it out loud then close your eyes and say it out loud while envisioning it. This is a theatre technique for memorising lines, but it's quite potent for learning to read.

    3. use a card to underline the sentences as if you're dyslexic. You might have a wee bit of the dyslexic brain and this card will help. 

    4. repeat daily until you can begin to notice things your brain is continually trying to assess and troubleshoot which you're getting on paper and you begin to start recalling or envisioning the story or poems your engaging with. 

    Expect this to take some time. x
