How can I concentrate on reading?

I can't concentrate while reading!!! Help?

• I really find it hard to concentrate doing things recently. For example, I find it hard to read a text word by word. I mean, I must really FORCE myself to read it. If I do, I understand it. But if I won't force myself, I really find it hard to understand the text and read it word by word. Do I have some sort of ADHD or dyslexia?? HELP!!!!!! I'm 19 yo male! And oh, I also notice that I easily forget things! I don't remember in details what I did yesterday.

• Answer:

  Yes lack of sleep can make you irritable and not able to relax when your trying to focus on things for a long period of time. - don't drink anything with caffeine in it. (cola sodas, mountain dew soda, coffee, teas) Stay away from foods with chocolate. -I am an adult struggling with reading also. Though I try to read out loud. Something about reading out loud helps the reading process go smoothly. - at school read with a piece of paper underneath a line or ruler (quietly) -at home read out loud.
