🧠 ADHD Reading Strategy Card

Deep Focus + Comprehension in 5 Smart Steps

---

✅ 1. Prime the Page (30 sec)

• Skim titles, bold text, headings

• Ask: “What’s this about?”

---

✅ 2. Loop & Anchor

• Read each sentence 2–4 times fast

• Use finger/ruler to anchor your eyes

• After 1–2 sentences: pause → mental rephrase

---

✅ 3. Eyes-Closed Recall (Optional)

• Close eyes → say sentence in your own words

• Skip this if your energy’s low — save for key ideas only

---

✅ 4. Sprint → Recap → Reward

• Set timer: 5-minute reading sprint

• At end: recap out loud or jot a quick bullet

• Reward: stand, stretch, fidget, sip, small snack, 10-sec dopamine boost

---

✅ 5. Zoom-Out Pass

• Read full text smoothly from start to end

• Now the ideas feel familiar — let them click into place
