Poor reading habits can lead to a lack of interest or comprehension skills and ultimately to discouragement in reading related to studying or just for pleasure. These tendencies can develop in children in the classroom at a young age. School practices such as reading aloud, making elaborate outlines, and testing can interfere with the learning process. While it takes work to rectify ingrained habits, it is possible to re-teach yourself how to read well. There are three main types of bad reading habits: skip back, overworking, and vocalization.

When I was child, I did not talk much. It was not that I did not like people but I simply could not give response as quick as other children. That was really frustrating as others thought me dumb. After I learnt reading, I found myself a totally new world. Books were amazing things to me at that time because I do not have to be quick in understanding while reading them. I could go through it in my own pace and did not have to worry that what was written in the books would leave me behind. As a child I surely could not read more complicated things than stories, but the habit of reading helped me a lot in studying, as even my families were surprised to know that the previously dumbest kid always had the highest scores in school.

Many people may not have had such a habit for some reasons, but it's never too late to develop one.
