Tips for Reading with ADHD

adhd-asd:

(or without ADHD, if they help regardless)

Physical print:

  • cover the page with a piece of paper and reveal lines/paragraphs as you read them
  • use a highlighter to emphasize important/interesting parts
  • take notes as you go to be physically engaged with the material

Digital media:

  • copy and paste the text into a doc/word processor
    • change the font size/style/colour to something more legible
    • make your own paragraphs and spacing
  • copy and paste one paragraph at a time to isolate them from the distraction of the rest of the text
  • install a browser extension like BeeLine Reader or Mercury Reader
  • zoom in on the page and scroll slowly so you’re revealing lines as you read them
  • physically cover the screen and reveal lines as you read them
  • if you do better with physical media, print it out or find a physical copy

Both:

  • read out loud
  • pace, move around, or use a fidget while reading

  • set a timer for 5 minutes and read in small chunks with breaks in between
  • divide the material into sections and read one section at a time with breaks in between

  • have another person, audio book, or text-to-speech program read it aloud as you follow along
