1. Find a book that you really want to read.
Search books in this blog, ask for recommendations in Selkokirjalukupiiri or leave a question in this post's comments.
2. Make sure that you know where the book is.
Keep it in your bag wherever you go, and when you come home, place it somewhere where you can see it.
3. Plan your reading.
Decide how many pages or chapters you try to read in a day or in a week.
4. Take a look at the vocabulary in advance to get an idea what happens in each chapter. Study it more throughly after reading.
I have Yösyöttö vocabulary in Quizlet and Juurihoito, Punainen kuin veri, Valkea kuin lumi and Ei kertonut katuvansa in Memrise. (I have also started a vocabulary for Musta kuin eebenpuu, but it is very small. If you are reading the book and want to contribute, please contact me.)
5. Do the exercises after you have read the chapter.
I have questions for all my books except for Musta kuin eebenpuu. You can see the extra materials in my page www.hannamannikkolahti.com. (Now I feel bad for not having questions about Musta kuin eebenpuu, but I must have thought that since it's the third book of a trilogy, people manage to read it anyway.)
6. Find somebody who is reading the same book.
Schedule short meetings where you discuss the book in Finnish or just make sure that you're both still reading the book.
