GED Stories

I don’t know how to read very well. I left school because I don’t read good. I want to get my GED because I want to own my own business. My dream is to learn to read. Do you think that you can help me to learn to read and write?

Sophie,

Improving your reading and writing is essential to doing so much in this world. It helps you get better information, get better jobs, take advantage of more opportunities. Your desire to read and write better is exactly what you need to succeed! The first thing that we always recommend is to start reading more. Go to the library. Find books, magazines, even comic books that are easy for you to read. You don’t have to read children’s books. Many libraries have adult literacy books that can help you get reading practice. Start reading everything that you can… read online, read books, read every day. The more you practice, the better you’ll get. And the best advice is to read something you enjoy…mysteries, romances, anything YOU like to read.

Can we help? The passGED Study Program is made to help people with different learning styles, so it can definitely help improve your reading. In a typical lesson, you listen to a teacher or student reading and talking, and you can replay it as many times as you like. This can really help you in your reading, because you can listen to what you’re reading, and follow along. You can go back and listen again as many times as you like.

In addition to our reading courses, we’ve just introduced a new Writing Fundamentals course that leads you through all the writing basics. You’ll learn about grammar, punctuation, spelling, and organization in an easy-to-understand way, and you can practice as much as you like by replaying the lessons as many times as you need to. Remember, each lesson has an audio track, so you’re listening to teachers and students explain the concepts, not just trying to struggle through reading text on the screen. If this program sounds like it might be right for you, visit http://www.passGED.com to learn more, or call us at 1-888-880-2164. We’ll be happy to tell you more.
