Reading Skills for Today's Adults

Pam is busy. She works two jobs six days a week. Plus, she is the mom of two young children. She drinks a lot of coffee. It helps her stay awake.

​

After work, Pam cooks dinner for herself and her children. Then she tucks her kids into bed. She goes to bed too but cannot get to sleep. She tosses and turns. She only gets about four hours of sleep each night.

​

In the morning, Pam is tired. She is short with her kids. She often thinks, “I need more sleep. I want to be a kind mom. I want to feel good. I need more sleep.”

​

Pam looks to the internet for help. She finds a good website with these sleep tips: do not use caffeine, take a walk, stretch, read a book, take deep breaths. Pam plans to try them this week.
