HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS A READER?
Hello, I am Adina Low. I would like to tell you about my reading page. My favourite book is called Fearless. I read this book a few months ago and I will never forget this book. Genres that interest me are fantasy and romance. I read for about 10 minutes everyday and if the book is interesting, I would finish it for about 1 or 2 days. I enjoy the plot and the characters when I am reading. Images forms in my mind. Usually, I read on my cozy warm bed as it is so comfortable. However, I get distracted easily by noises arround me. Thats why I have to read in a quiet and bright place where no one would disturb me.

WHAT HAPPENS IN YOUR HEAD AS YOU READ?
When I read, my inner voice speaks and images forms in my mind. I could imagine the characters and how they look like. The voice in my head just repeats the words that i read. I face distractions often, as i have told you. I cant concertrate when there are noises around me. Sometimes, I write my thoughts on a sticky note. Thoughts like: are often in my mind when I read. ★--☆--☆--★-- ☆--☆--★--☆--☆--★--☆--☆--☆--★--☆--☆--★--☆--☆--★--☆--☆--★
 * I don't get this.
 * Wait, where was I?
 * What is going to happen next?
 * Why did this happen?
 * Oh no. what is going happen to he/she?

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE STRATEGIES YOU USE WHEN MEANING BREAKS DOWN?
When meaning breaks down, you could refer to some of this strategies

When using the sticky notes, you write down your thoughts when reading. Sticky notes is a very good way of keeping track of your thinking. Especially, when you have a problem, you could just refer to it. Each time you back up and re read, you focus more on reading and you try to understand what the words are saying. That strategy is the most effective strategy for me. Most of the time, I would be lost in the words so i try to find somewhere that I have just read and read it again.
 * Back up and Reread
 * Read in a quiet place
 * Use some sticky notes to help you
 * Look up the dictionary
 * Focus on the words
 * Read slowly

INCLUDE EXAMPLES OF THE STRATEGIES THAT WORK
Some strategies such as backup and rereading are helpful. If you are stuck or bored, try to keep reading as sometimes not all great books start with an exciting ending. If you encounter a problem, or something new, try to connect the new information with something you know. Ask Questions using your sticky notes and then you could ask someone who generally knows the topic for assistance. If you don't understand a word, look up the dictionary. I know sometimes you cannot be bothered looking up the dictionary, another solution would be backing up and re read. Try to find to connect the word with the sentence and its likely that you get a rough idea of the word.

TIPS SECTION

Some advice to all readers out there. Picking the right book is something really important when reading. If you don't pick the right book for you, most likely, you would struggle with the meaning of the words. Before reading, make sure you have all your reading materials so you wont have to stop reading just to get your materials. Location of your reading spot is also crucial for reading, always make sure you read in a quiet and bright environment. Make sure your mind is clear before reading or your mind would wander somewhere else. In this semester, we started learning about reading. I used to dislike reading but ever since we started on the topic of reading, I start to enjoy it. I learnt that there are many ways to improve your reading and some strategies when I am stuck or bored. I never thought that sticky notes were beneficial when I am reading. We could easily record our thoughts in the sticky notes and it is even light and easy to carry. You could refer to the sticky notes and look at the thoughts that you had while reading which is pretty interesting i must say.

I hope the tips are beneficial to you all :D
