Over the course of reading them, especially with trying out extensive reading with Goosebumps, I feel that my reading speed increased and my comprehension of sentences as one unit increased a lot. I’m noticing a big difference in feeling like I’m reading a whole sentence, rather than just one word at a time before I move on to the next. I also read from 39% → 55% of japanese HP. I initially assumed I would focus more on that this time around, but ended up focusing on paperback reads instead. The more kanji I learn, the more approachable HP will be as a paperback read, so I may try that soon and see how it goes. Reading easier children’s novels still helps a lot with my comprehension level of HP. I’ve noticed improvements every time I’ve gone back to it. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.wanikani.com/t/read-japanese-every-day-challenge-summer-2024/66293)._
