How does one increase one's literacy level?
>>25423994That book can give some good pointers, but ultimately it comes down to disciplining yourself. No one else can rewire your brain for you.

>>25424077don't give advice when you know jack shit
>>25423994There’s no magic way around it. Log off and start reading consistently. Consistence is key. Even if 2 pages, you must read everyday. Never skip even one day. Stick to this. You will be unrecognisable to your self now.
>>25423994>How does one increase one's literacy level?am i missing something? you read books. it's that simple.
>>25424097>>25424107you know jack shit, fuck off, anyway nobody knows shit here, I'm unsubscribing, study the Trivium, that's the only way to increase your literacy level
>>25424123what's your deal? what do you think literacy even means? it's the capacity to do things with the words you read, to connect them to other readings and experiences, to fit them into larger structures of meaning. you build that capacity by reading. obviously. what's your problem dude? it's like asking how to get better at art, and then freaking out when someone suggests sketching.
>>25424077Watch as the anon crumbles at the notion of self accountability
>>25424138Forget that schizo, it's what happens when de joows convince a mother not to love her child.
>>25424138>>25424164>>25424192Here's a piece of advice to you retarded 15-year-olds. Don't think you know everything. Don't spew "advice" about shit you know jack shit about.
You read books. Good ones, mostly, but you should read bad ones too.

LSAT reading comprehensionThis thread is about how to get a perfect score on that, and even go beyond that if possible.This is mostly done by studying grammar, logic and rhetoric, not by "just reading".

>>25423994>How does one increase one's literacy level?There are multiple levels to many writings. There is the surface level, where one appreciates the writing style and plot, and then there are subsurface levels, where one can detect hidden meanings. The hidden meanings routinely require a broader range of references, both literary and others, sometimes with a requirement of understanding scientific terms, or who various people were. Admittedly, this was TV rather than reading a book, but it requires literary reading which I’m sure some people here will have done. In episode 7 of the first season of “Gilmore Girls”, Rory is visiting the grocery store and talking to Dean, her boyfriend, who is assembling a stack of cans to look like the Mayflower. Then Rory makes a comment about Corn Starch, before commenting about how she sewed a button on her uniform with a silver thread, and Dean mentions Ant-Spray, since it is fall, Cornucopias are also seen. I’m sure some people here will get the references. In a different series, Slow Horses, in season three, you have a character named “Donovan”, going rogue from a private military company called “Chieftain”, trying to break into a storage facility to see the “Gray Files”, but instead going to room “twelve”, to retrieve alternative files, linked to a surveilance system that made individuals in embassies deathly ill.

>>25424755i would agree based on my own experience. i read being logical by dq mcinerny, which is probably the lowest level intro to logic you could get, and i benefited from it. but also, i just started reading philosophy.
should i read this i already read high-level, complex and dense texts i also have had the required years of schooling. there's absolutely nothing i can learn from this right? feels like a waste of my time
