I always mark words I do not know when I read a book, I did the same whilst reading through various texts for school the only difference was that I actually looked them up with the thought of posting them online. (even though I slacked on that really bad) Even so, I did look them up. I usually only look up words when I read on my tablet since it’s easy to highlight a word and get it’s meaning. This exercise was a good way to get into the habit of looking up words right away as opposed to just marking them with the intention of getting back to them and not doing so. I also try to use these words as much as possible to add them into my daily vocabulary. Overall, as tedious as it was I am glad I was forced to look up many words and then post whichever ones weren’t posted yet.  Definitely a good challenge for myself since pausing and writing down words makes reading much less fun.
