    As for reading, I really believe you won’t make it far without good reading skills.

    I’m just going to point out the easiest way to help someone develop better reading skills even when they don’t want to work at it: always leave the subtitles on on the television. Always. There’s studies showing that reading speed and comprehension increase when subtitles are routinely left on.
