My daughter, 14, took the ACT this year and did quite well. However, her reading score is fairly low. Her problem is that she reads very well, but will not skim.
Our response is to practice this summer so that this is higher during her tenth grade year. I am going to "try" to hire someone to coach her and let her know that she can skim. I tell her, but she thinks it is cheating.
We are also going to work tests from books and have her read more. (She has quit reading as much now that she has an I-phone.)
I am looking for suggestions for ACT prep books and other books to get her to read faster. Her English score was very high; reading score low.
Thanks.
