Newspaper Article Reading Comprehension

I’m 16 and can’t read?
I lack basic reading comprehension skills. For instance when I’m faced with the task of reading something for school or perhaps newspaper article, I often skim through it rather than read it thoroughly. My attention span falters and almost every single time I read I end up skimming it. As a result of skimming I am forced to reread the same thing twice in order to give a chance for my brain to process what I just read. Only then do I retain what I had read. It is highly annoying and I feel it slows me down. How can I remedy my problem? I don’t want to be a dumb 16 year old who can’t read.
Have you seen a doctor. You may have problems focusing on what you read because of Attention Deficit Disorder. Perhaps the doctor could suggest a medication to help you focus. Or it could be that you have a vision problem. Some people need to put a plastic piece over their book page and it helps with reading.
