(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
