You are not alone
Long articles are a struggle for many people, whether because of dyslexia, ADHD, tiredness, a second language or a busy life. Needing a different way to read is normal, and it does not mean you cannot understand the news.
Change how the text looks
Larger text, more space between lines and a calm background can make reading easier. Many people find a slightly off-white or dark background less tiring than bright white. Try different sizes and themes until the words stop swimming.
Break it into pieces
A short summary gives you the shape of a story before you tackle the detail. Read it first, then decide whether you need the full article. If you do, read it in short sections with breaks, and stop when you have what you need.
Let your ears help
Listening can be easier than reading for many people. A read-aloud feature turns text into speech, so you can follow along or listen while you do something else. The voice quality depends on your phone or browser.
Use a guide while you read
Run a finger or a ruler under each line to keep your place. Highlight the names, numbers and dates that matter. Write one sentence in your own words at the end, which helps you remember it.
Be kind to yourself
Reading is a skill that varies with energy, stress and interest. If a day is hard, a short summary is a perfectly good way to stay informed, and tomorrow you may manage more.
