Have you ever wished you could enjoy reading like other people? You can learn to enjoy reading, get involved in the story, see it in your mind’s eye.
Here’s one way to go about it.
The trick is to read things at exactly the right level. Not too hard and not too easy either.
Choose a text where there’s maybe one tricky word in 100 words. That’s your learning level. Read at that learning level for half an hour a day. You’ll find that your reading ability changes and you can gradually get slightly more difficult text. It usually only takes about six weeks.
What used to be tricky is to find the right text. Children’s books are sometimes marked with this or that level. Your reading content is not. Here’s where AI can help.
Find content that is available electronically (and is interesting to you). Use AI to adapt it for you. Start at a level that is lower than what you need. Like “Rewrite this with a reading age of 8”. Work the age setting up until you get the magic number — about one tricky word in every hundred.
Using AI you can also change the color of the background, the font (type and size) and the spacing to your liking.
Every week increase the reading age until you get to real books again.
You’re not alone! We’ve worked with university students who hated reading and learned to enjoy it using this technique.
