Stutter-Reading

I tried to read my morning newspaper but the train was so bumpy I could only focus on every other word - I was stutter-reading.

silent reading

the long and annoying 10 minutes at the start of an english lesson where the class is silent reading or acting that they're silent reading whilst the teacher uploads the powerpoint. you can usually hear a lot of shuffling, muffled sniffles and whispers about how someone wet themselves at lunch.

failure to bring in a silent reading book can usually end you up with a 10 page essay.

english teacher - ok everybody, 10 minutes of silent reading everybody and i'll take the register. where's your silent reading book?
student - at home, sorry.
english teacher - that's it, the third time this week! 10 page essay for monday, is that understood?

Night Reading

This is the opposite of DayDreaming.

Katie: Hey, bro, what book are you reading?
Josh: I have no idea. I just put my finger in the book night read it.

Katie: Huh?
Josh: Yeah, you know how when you're in school and you're reading in class and your mind wanders off?
Katie: Ya, like daydreaming?
Josh: Exactly! But the opposite! Night Reading is when you sleep while holding a book, and while you're asleep you'll just absorb the information.

spark-read

rather than legitimately read the assigned novel, you read the sparknotes instead.

Because Frankenstein is a shitty book, i decided to spark-read it to save time.
