Reading comprehention and vocabulary help/stuff

[ShatteredWings]

My english class is shit for this, so i thought i'd ask here.

frankly, i'm probably the stupidest person taking honers english. I can't understand half the stuff i'm reading, and usually vocab stuff i either need to look up or i just ignore the word and move o n.

this can't keep happening. or i'm never gonna get into college, since the only tests they care about are heavliy weighted on english stuff...bull, since i want areospace(MATH! SCIENCE! EQUAITIONS! MODELS! my idea of fun), but it's what they care about more.

I know my english teacher won't help. I've faked my way through it long enough that they think i'm fine, when I cant read normally or understand vocab that EVERYONE ELSE GETS. i barely understand english grammar, and it's my FIRST LANGUAGE.


I don't know where to go for help...

This will probably will require a lot of work on your part...
Fake it when you have to, write down everything you dont understand look it up later, and try to comprehend it on your own. I don't see how you can improve this other than looking it up.

First thing I would advise you to do is talk to your teacher, they are there to help you learn and will be able to guide you much more than any advice on the internet will.

On your part, you can start to learn it for yourself. Go back to the very basic English skills that you know and start to learn from there. Also try to read more, whether it is a magazine, book, newspaper, web pages you will see how grammar is used, develop your spelling and vocabulary.
