Sup... I hope you are all succeeding in your quest of advanced reading...
What a pity that because there is some crappy design problem with blogger, we cannot read these useful tips in a sensible order!
Right now I am trying to find a workaround for this problem, so, don't give up hope!
And by the way, if anyone is wondering where tip #4 is, I am fully aware that I promised it a few er, years ago, =P, but don't die of hyperventilation or anything, because I am going to write it as soon as I have finished typing this damn post...
Yeah, so for the benefit of all you advanced readers out there, I am going to stop typing now... And press "publish post"...

Step #3 --- How To Find Something To Read 4 Beginners
Step #2 --- How To Find Something To Read 4 Beginners
1) Your local library should be your first spot to seek books. They often have a great variety of books to choose from and the librarian is always willing to help out when you don't know where to start. They have non fiction and fiction books, and a library is a great place to work on a project.
2) Your local bookshop. I visit mostly Exclusive Books and Bargain Books, both which have a great variety, if somewhat expensive, range of books. If you are looking for a huge range of books, especially modern ones, try Exclusive Books. However their books are usually very expensive i.e R80 - R500. If you are looking for cheaper books (R30 - R200), try Bargain Books. However, you must be willing to look through a slightly smaller range of books there than at Exclusive Books. P.S. Some Exclusive Books have nice coffee shops next to them! (;
So there we go! You should be ready now! But if all of these tips fail, you may be able to beg, borrow or steal a book from someone!
P.P.S. Don't cry to me if these tips fail... =):
Thank you, look out for tip #4

Step #2 --- Books
Step #2 --- Books
Books are the most commonly read items in the entire world. Books are wonderful because they provide information on a wonderful variety of topics.
Books even can tell stories...
But before you can read books, you have to learn how to read words. Reading words is extremely simple, because all that words are, are lots of letters strung together. If you pronounce the sound of each letter in the word, you wil get a basic idea of what the word should sound like.
Now for sentences...
Sentences are basically lots of words strung together so that you can say something reliable, instead of babbling out random words.
A couple of rules for reading sentences:
Pause at commas (,)
Take longer pauses at fullstops (.)
Raise the tone of your voice with question marks (?)
Talk excitedly when there is an exclamation mark (!)
