Note
If you are a beginner in reading, prioritise articles from the start. Do not read for more than one hour; it is perfectly fine to read only one article per day in the initial months. Try to learn some vocabulary (3 to 5 words as discussed in the mentorship class), and then gradually increase your speed. Focus on quality over quantity; speed will naturally improve over time. For example, if you read only one or two articles per day for the first six months (180 days), you will cover 180 to 360 articles with quality and revisions. This number is sufficient to grasp the basics thoroughly. You will still have the remaining six months of the year, which will be ample time to increase your speed and cover more topics. So, be patient, avoid following the crowd, and adhere to the guidance provided in the class.
