Hi there, \nMy mom is using a software that is called Talk Now! English.  She says the programs included in this package are really helpful and entertaining.  She's learned a lot. Of course, she also has books on tapes, and I make her practice her English with me.

I personally reccomend the Rosetta Stone language education software. It's specifically designed to teach people fast. My father was at conversational italian after an hour a day for six months, and was reading and writing it by the end of the year. I'm going to get a copy before I go to Japan. It comes in almost every language, too.

Get a cd-rom for typing. Mavis Beacon is a great program but I'm sure other typing programs will do. If you don't have one, try practice typing at www.typingtest.com. Believe it or not, instant messaging can also speed up your typing over time, depends on if you really try or not, but it worked for my cousin. Play typing games on the internet. Just keep typing and typing and typing, but not at the same pace of course. Try typing faster each time. Good luck!

Been there, done that.\nWhen ever you read something, create a picture of it.\nwhen i study, i take breaks. Most of the time when i study, I walk and pace. The pictures in my head help me most.\nOne important thing, make sure you understand one thing at a time and when you are done with a page, dont go to the next page until you have absolutely memorized the whole page completely.\nSometimes, i re write everything again, helps me alot. Especially using different colors.

One of those products is called eye Q. Hooked on phonics teaches you how to read not how to read faster. Eye Q works on the premise that some people have trouble reading because their eyes need more exercise. They have a free trial check it out at the link.

well you'll have to make time and just accept that reading is essential if you want good grades.  if not, then accept you're probably not going to do that well.\nWhat's the problem with the reading?  I mean do you have dyslexia?  Because there are aids available to help with that if it's the case.\nAnd as for not having time, make a time table, divide up your activities,those that are must do's, and connected with school work, and those that are recreational, if you do it properly you should be able to come up with a timetable that enables you to do everything.  it's about time management and that's always a good life lesson to start learning

Sometimes a teacher will let you come into their classroom and study during lunch, before or after school. Or, you can go to the school library. You might also want to talk to your favorite teacher and let him/her know what's going on at home. Sometimes it really helps to have someone you can talk to, and they might have some study suggestions for you.\n\nYou can improve your reading skills by reading a lot. Read different things...books, magazines, signs, anything you see with words. I'd say read the questions and answers on here, but the spelling and grammar is so bad in some of them that I don't think they will be a tremendous help to you. When you read, stop after a paragraph and ask yourself what you read (in your own words). If you can't do it, you aren't comprehending the words.\n\nIf you are having a lot of trouble reading, you might be dyslexic. If you think that might be the case, ask your teacher or counsler if you can be tested.\n\nGood luck.

It isn't easy, but if you are a very determined person, you will do almost the imposible to get your mind to work at its max... \n\nWhen reading a book, for example, you should read the chapter preview and then skim through the text. Look at sections and read the title of the sections. If you have a question then write it down so when you start reading you answer the question. An example of a question for a title in a computer book such as "Installing a removable drive" would be like..  "How do you instal a removable drive?"\n\nAlso when you read, read slowly and try to understand the material. Because if you read just to get to the end, you miss the whole purpose of the reading.\n\nThis is only one of practically thousands.. well not sure of the numbler but hehe its big I'm sure.\n\nWell anyways, if you are having some trouble with the material you should also ask your instructor for assistance.

READ!!! The higher the level, the more words you will learn. If you love reading, then the vocab you read from the book will slowly being to creep into your daily vocab use. \nLearning another language also helps you understand larger words in English, plus it's a great benefit to you in general. \nUse flashcards, or go online and search difficult words online. : )

Well as said previously, you can search google for a quick online test... Or you can take it one step further and get Mavis Beacon from Broderbund (trail version is available on their site). That not only tells you your words per minute, it also helps you work on improving it by means of more tests, lessons, and even games.
